In a match they finally had within their grasp, JS Kabylie cracked in the dying moments, dropping points that could prove extremely costly in the race for Africa.

JS Kabylie likely lost much more than just two points against CS Constantine. Held to a draw in the final seconds (2-2) in Tizi Ouzou, the Canaries see their African ambitions take a serious hit as the season nears its end.

Dominant for large stretches of the match, Rabah Bensafi’s men had done the hardest part. After Akhrib opened the scoring and Mahious struck late in the 89th minute, everything seemed set for a return to winning ways. But once again, a lack of clinical finishing and defensive errors proved costly.

The hammer blow came in stoppage time, as Benmoussa equalized from a corner. A cruel twist that highlights JSK’s current limitations and extends an alarming home winless streak. At this stage of the season, this slip-up could well shatter their hopes of continental qualification.
