WATCH: Former Kaizer Chiefs transfer target Khanyisa Mayo facing challenges at CR Belouizdad as former Leicester City and Newcastle United star sends warning to Orlando Pirates

Bafana Bafana international Khanyisa Mayo was an unused substitute as CR Belouizdad beat MC Alger 3-1 in the Algiers Derby on Wednesday.

It was a match former Leicester City forward Ismail Slimani scored Belouizdad's first goal while Abdelraouf Benguit and Mohamed Khacef added their names to the scoresheet as Andy Delort grabbed MC Alger's consolation.

Slimani's goal could serve as a warning to Pirates who travel to Beluizdad for their Caf Champions League Group C opener on Tuesday.

It remains to be seen if Mayo will feature in that match as the former Cape Town City struggles for game time.

Mayo has started just two of Belouizdad's seven Ligue 1 matches this season and is yet to find the back of the net, even in the two Champions League matches he has featured in.

Wednesday's derby victory was a big boost for Belouizdad as they prepare to host Pirates and will not be involved in any competitive action this weekend.

The Buccaneers were last involved in competitive football on November 5 and would be hoping they will not be rusty when they face the Algerians.

It remains to be seen if Mayo will be selected to play against the Soweto giants.
