Disciplinary blow: Mouloudia d'Alger to play two matches behind closed doors

The LFP disciplinary committee has handed Mouloudia d'Alger a two-match ban behind closed doors, accompanied by a 500,000 DA fine. This ruling follows incidents during the October 31st home game against USM Khenchela at Douéra stadium, where flares and projectiles were thrown onto the pitch, resulting in an injury to player Zakaria Zaitri. The upcoming match against MC Oran on Wednesday will be the first to be played in an empty Ali-Ammar stadium, with a second match also confirmed to be held without spectators. Since the penalty is for fewer than four games, the club cannot appeal the decision. This creates a difficult situation for the team, as they must compete without their supporters during a period already marked by heated debates over the league's scheduling.
