On matchday 4, USM Alger defeated MC Oran (4–2) on 5 October 1975 at the Stade du 20-Août-1955, in front of 7,090 spectators. Trailing after Belgot's opening goal, USMA turned the match around thanks to goals from Zidane, Guedioura (a brace), and Benmessaoud. The game was marked by the Algiers side's strong attacking efficiency. This victory confirmed USM Alger's promising start to the season.

Played as part of matchday 6 of the championship, this Algiers derby ended in a logical draw (1–1). CR Belcourt opened the scoring very early through Messahel in the 3rd minute, before USM Alger equalized in the 17th minute thanks to Zidane. Considered average from a technical standpoint, the match resembled more a game of application than a high-intensity confrontation, as noted by the press at the time.

On matchday 12, USM Alger crushed ASM Oran by a historic scoreline of 11–0 at the Stade du 5 Juillet. From the opening minutes, the Usmistes imposed total domination on a waterlogged pitch. Djamel Zidane, man of the match, scored five goals, delivering an exceptional individual performance. Benmessaoud and Déraoui each netted a brace, while Rabet and completed the scoring. This match remains one of the largest victories in the history of Algerian football and a major milestone for USMA.

In a match played at the Stade du 5 Juillet, RC Kouba defeated USM Alger (1–0) in front of 23,266 spectators. The contest, evenly balanced for long periods, was characterized by a strong tactical battle between the two sides. The turning point came in the 49th minute when Bedjaoui scored the only goal of the match with a precise header. After taking the lead, RCK managed their advantage well. USMA tried to respond by increasing their attacking efforts, but a lack of efficiency prevented the Algiers side from equalizing.

The match between USM Alger and NA Hussein Dey ended in a goalless draw (0–0) at the Stade du 5 Juillet, in front of approximately 27,135 spectators. The game featured alternating periods of dominance and numerous missed chances, highlighting a lack of attacking efficiency on both sides. Despite sustained commitment and solid tactical organization, particularly defensively, neither team managed to convert their strong phases. The result reignited debate over attacking sterility, attributed either to bad luck or to the forwards’ lack of precision.

In the 30th and final round of the 1975–76 Nationale I, USM Alger defeated USM Bel Abbès 8–2 in a match held in Algiers. After a relatively balanced first half, USM Alger took control in the second half, scoring most of their goals thanks to their physical and technical superiority. The press described the game as being closer to a “training session.” The goals for USM Alger were scored by Mustapha Amenouche (4 goals), Bachir Zitoune (3 goals), and Nacer Guedioura (1 goal), while Tabet Derraz and Benchinoun scored the two goals for USM Bel Abbès.
