By beating the Tunisian State, this Saturday, May 1, Esperance Tunis Tunisia becomes champion for the 31 th time. The Tunisian club can now focus on the Champions League.

We expected a little. From now on, it is done. Esperance Tunis has won his 31 th championship of Tunisia. The Esperantists beat (1-0), this Saturday, May 1, the Tunisian Stadium in Hédi-Enneifer, in the heart of Bardo.

Thanks to this success, the reigning champions have 59 points and are sure to finish in first place with three days remaining in the championship.

In this late match of the 22nd day, it was the Algerian defender Abdelkader Bedrane who scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute. He resumed a well executed cross with his head.

The young coach of the champion of Tunisia, Mouine Chaabani (39), rejoices. He achieved his goal at the national level. The former Esperance defender can now focus on the Champions League, his other big challenge. One of his stated goals. His team will face in the quarter-finals (first leg: May 14, 15, 2021; return: May 21, 22, 2021) the Algerians of CR Belouizdad .

The Tunisian club has 13 points more than its runner-up, Étoile du Sahel (2nd, 46 pts). Lassaad Dridi’s men have a game overdue. Alas, it will not be enough to outclass Esperance.

US Ben Guerdane completes the podium with 37 points. As for the Tunisian Stadium, it is in danger. The Stadistes are in 10th position with 26 points. First relegation, the Bizertin Athletic Club is five lengths from the Tunisian Stadium
