## Algerian Cup

On June 19, 1976, under a blazing sun and suffocating heat, Mouloudia of Algiers began the harvest series by winning its 3rd Algerian Cup by beating MO Constantine in the final. The Match, without reaching a great technical level, was folded in ten minutes thanks to two lightning goals from Bellemou and Bencheikh. The green and red left no room for suspense with this resounding entry into the match. In the second minute of the game, Bellemou was already receiving a cross from his left to forestall the exit of the Constantinois goalkeeper Naïdja and put the ball in the back of the net. 8 minutes later, the virulent right winger of Mouloudia, Omar Betrouni obtains a free kick at the edge of the 25 meters of the goalkeeper Mociste's cage, Ali Bencheikh took charge of executing it to lodge the leather in the back of the net of the unfortunate Naidja .The series of consecrations was well underway. MC Alger won its third Algerian Cup after those of 1971 and 1973.
