Adel Boulbina lit up the match between Entente de Sétif and Paradou with a moment of brilliance that sealed a vital victory for the visitors.
The 72nd-minute strike, described as an “anthology goal,” broke the 1-1 deadlock and left fans and pundits in awe of the young forward’s exceptional skill.
The decisive moment came when Soukou delivered a well-placed pass to Boulbina.
With perfect timing and technique, Boulbina executed a dazzling pigeon-wing flick before using the flat of his right foot to lob Sétif goalkeeper Bousseder, who had rushed off his line.
The goal not only secured three crucial points for Paradou but also underscored Boulbina’s reputation as one of the brightest talents in Algerian football.
Currently leading the Ligue 1 scorers’ chart with eight goals, Boulbina has consistently delivered standout performances this season.
Another remarkable goal, a 40-meter free-kick against Magra that ended in a 1-1 draw, is also widely regarded as one of the season’s highlights.
Boulbina’s exploits have not gone unnoticed. Top Algerian clubs, including MC Alger and CR Belouizad, are reportedly keen to acquire the young star during the winter transfer window.
However, Paradou’s management, led by the Zetchi brothers, is determined to hold onto their prized asset, especially with growing interest from foreign clubs.
Paradou’s academy has become a hallmark of talent development in Algerian football, having produced stars such as Ramy Bensebaïni, Hicham Boudaoui, Adem Zorgane, and Yacine Titraoui, all of whom now play for prestigious clubs abroad.
Boulbina is the latest in a long line of players to emerge from this system, and his future looks equally promising.
National team coach Vladimir Petkovic is reportedly monitoring Boulbina and Titraoui closely, with speculation that both players could receive call-ups to the Algerian national team in 2025.
Paradou’s commitment to fostering talent has positioned it as a leader in Algerian football development.
Its focus on infrastructure and human resources has set a benchmark for other clubs, making it a key contributor to the growth of the sport in the country.
With Boulbina continuing to deliver moments of brilliance, Paradou’s influence on the domestic and international football scene seems destined to grow even further.
