Sead Ramovic's CR Belouizdad kept their title hopes alive in Algerian Ligue 1 with a thrilling win on Saturday evening.

However, Aymen Mahious hit back with a brace of his own with goals in the 87th minute and 89th minutes to level matters.

Belouizdad got the winning goal in the seventh minute of time added on thanks to Rezki Hamroune's strike.

The victory sees Belouizdad remain one point behind league leaders MC Alger, who defeated Bsikra 1-0 on the same day.

Alger followed up the CAF Champions League exit to Orlando Pirates with a loss to Olympique Akbou on Tuesday.

However, Ayoub Ghezala's solitary strike in the second half was enough to give Alger maximum points on Saturday evening.
