## Game summaries
### First leg

WO Boufarik won the first leg of the final of the Super Division, thanks to its clear victory against its rival TRA Draria with a score of (83–59). Indeed, Sofiane Boulahia's capes have stood alone since the first quarter (17-8). Subsequently, the comrades of captain Abdelhalim Kaouane maintained the pace throughout the last three quarters (31-24, 55-40, 83-59). WO Boufarik's coach Sofiane Boulahia said “We had to close the spaces and stop TRA Draria’s three-point shots which are really deadly. However, we must not declare victory early, because there is still the second round. Now, we have to stay focused and focus on the recovery of the players, to have strength on Tuesday, especially since nothing has been done yet and everything can change at any time”.

In a demonstration of strength and mastery, WO Boufarik wrote a new page in its history by winning its tenth Super Division title. This consecration, which comes after more than two decades of waiting, materialized during the second round of the Super-Division final played in Staouéli. Faced with a combative TRA Draria, but ultimately overwhelmed, Sofiane Boulahya's men imposed their diktat, winning a resounding victory with a clear score of (60-41). the Orange and Green had to face a burst of pride from their opponents, returning to the locker room with a narrow lead of two points (27-25).
