USM Alger Stade Roger Lapergue Saint Eugène Forconi Cup The Algiers League with the approval of the F.F.F.A, decided to add another team to the list of qualifiers for the North African Cup. According to the draw, Stade Guyotville was to face ASPTT Alger, and the winner would meet USM Alger in a decisive playoff match. On January 25, 1948, the highly anticipated encounter between USM Alger and Stade Guyotville took place at the Saint Eugène Stadium. The match began in a tense atmosphere due to its importance, and nervousness quickly translated into rough and violent play on the field. USMA opened the scoring in the first half through El Kamal, before Rabah Bedarane doubled the lead early in the second half. The domination continued when Rabah Zouaoui netted a superb direct free kick to make it 3–0, and at that point, USMA seemed destined for qualification.Chabane Hammouche 2014 86 However, the game took a dramatic turn when player Chaouane Ammar was injured following harsh tackles from the opposing defenders, forcing him to leave the pitch. From there, the situation spiraled out of control: Stade Guyotville pulled two quick goals back, then equalized 3–3 just minutes later. The tension escalated further when the referee awarded a controversial penalty against USMA, coupled with the sending off of Chaouane Abdelkader. Unable to accept what he saw as blatant injustice, Chaouane tried to argue with the referee, but to no avail. Overcome by anger, he lost his temper and physically assaulted the referee, striking him violently. The match was abandoned twenty minutes before full time, with chaos erupting as fans invaded the pitch and the police had to intervene.Chabane Hammouche 2014 86 Following the incidents, the League submitted its report and imposed heavy sanctions: USM Alger was expelled from the competition, and its points were erased. Chaouane Abdelkader was banned for life from football due to his assault on the referee. USMA was fined 1,000 francs because of its supporters’ misconduct. Stade Guyotville was declared qualified to the next round.Chabane Hammouche 2014 86 W Second Round 7 September 1947 15:30 USM Alger 2–1 ReportRésultat de la deuxième tour de la coupe forconi 1947-1948, paru dans "L'Echo d'Alger", 36e année, N° 13356 daté du Monday 7 septembre 1947, page 2.
