CR Belouizdad has moved to the top of the Ligue 1 Mobilis table after defeating JS Saoura 1-0 on Monday night at the 5-Juillet stadium, wrapping up the 8th matchday. The winning goal was scored by Tunisian forward Mohamed Ali Ben Hammouda via a penalty in the 51st minute. This victory puts the CRB at 17 points, one point ahead of JS Kabylie. In the other Monday fixture, CR Temouchent and US Biskra shared the points in a 1-1 draw. While CRB leads the league, JS Saoura and US Biskra continue to struggle at the bottom of the table.
