On a memorable afternoon at El Kef stadium, Esperance de Tunis delivered a stunning performance, crushing Olympique de Béja 5-0 in Matchday 29 of the Ligue 1 season. This emphatic victory, combined with US Monastir’s draw against Métlaoui, officially seals Esperance’s 34th league title and confirms their status as champions of Tunisia for the 2024/2025 season.
From the very first whistle, it felt like a home game for the Blood and Gold. The stands were packed with Esperance fans whose chants and unwavering support transformed the neutral ground into a fortress of encouragement. Coach Maher Kanzari’s men responded with focus, intensity, and flair.
Just seven minutes in, Esperance set the tone with a beautiful team move involving Bouchniba, Rodrigues, Belaïli, and Sasse. The Brazilian was left one-on-one with the keeper and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-0. Esperance’s dominance was clear, and more goals felt inevitable.
The pressure didn’t let up, and just before halftime, Esperance doubled their lead. Belaïli, brilliant down the left wing, beat his marker and fed Jebali, who played a slick first-time pass to Sasse. With precision and power, Sasse made it 2-0 and completed his brace (43’). The opponents, visibly shaken by the early goal, struggled to recover.
The second half saw Esperance continue their domination. In the 57th minute, Bouchniba found Belaïli between two defenders. The Algerian winger accelerated past them and beat the goalkeeper with a perfect low strike into the far corner to make it 3-0.
Substitutes then got in on the action. At the 68th minute, Houssem Tka exchanged passes with Jabri—who delivered a clever backheel—to carve open the defense. Tka's low shot beat the keeper despite a desperate effort from a defender to clear it off the line (4-0).
Ten minutes later, another substitute, Mokwana, was unleashed in behind by Guennichi. With raw pace and a thunderous finish, he sealed the scoreline at 5-0 (78’), concluding a commanding display from start to finish.
The final whistle marked more than just the end of a game—it marked the culmination of a season defined by resilience, unity, and excellence. Through every challenge, controversy, and setback, Esperance stood tall.
With this 34th championship, the Blood and Gold once again affirm their place at the summit of Tunisian football. Congratulations to the players, coaching staff, and supporters for a historic season well fought and brilliantly won.
