Malone has established himself as part of USM Alger\u2019s defensive options since joining the club in 2025, bringing valuable African club competition experience from his previous spell with Tanzanian giants Simba SC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old played a significant role in USM Alger\u2019s successful 2025\/26 CAF Confederation Cup campaign, featuring in 12 matches and accumulating 1,080 minutes. He also found the back of the net during the group stage against Ivorian side FC San Pedro, underlining his ability to contribute beyond his primary defensive responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For Malone, Sunday\u2019s encounter presents an opportunity to add another prestigious honour to his growing collection. USM Alger arrive in Pretoria as Confederation Cup champions after overcoming Egyptian giants Zamalek in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final, while Sundowns qualified after winning the CAF Champions League against Morocco\u2019s AS FAR.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Cameroonian defender and his teammates will, however, face a formidable challenge against a Sundowns side playing on home soil and determined to secure their second CAF Super Cup title. USM Alger, who previously lifted the trophy in 2023 after defeating Al Ahly, are equally motivated to repeat that success and reinforce their status among Africa\u2019s elite clubs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With USM Alger\u2019s defensive organisation likely to be tested by Sundowns\u2019 attacking quality, Malone\u2019s composure, physical presence and continental experience could prove crucial. A victory would give the Cameroonian another opportunity to celebrate on Africa\u2019s biggest club stage and further strengthen his growing reputation in African football.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The encounter kicks off at 15:00 local time (13:00 GMT) on Sunday, with the winners set to receive US$500,000.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Angu Lesley Footballeur writer kick442.com &#8211; Cameroon Cameroonian defender Che Malone will be&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":30282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,175,218,5,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-african-football","category-caf-confederation-cup","category-cameroon-football","category-football","category-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
