The head coach of the Algeria side CR Belouzidad Nabil El Kouki has expressed satisfaction with the performance of Nigeria Super Eagles winger Anayo Iwuala and his teammates, BSNSports.com.ng report.

Belouzidad pulled one of the biggest shocks on Matchday one of the Champions League on Friday by beating Zamalek 0-1 in Cairo.

We are happy and satisfied with this success achieved outside our base. It's motivating to start the group stage in this way. We knew how to beat this team from Zamalek who wanted to wake up after a difficult period,” he said. The Chabab of Belouizdad had just achieved its first victory on Egyptian soil.

“Nothing is decided yet. We have certainly won this meeting, but there is still a long way to go. We still have games to play and points to collect. 

So, we will have to stay focused until the end,” he said. 

The CRB temporarily occupies the top of the standings with three points while waiting for the match between ES Tunis and Al Mareikh, scheduled for Saturday.

CR Belouizdad will host ES Tunis next Saturday during the second day of the UCL group stage.
