Coton Sport’s revival under interim head coach Haman Gabriel continued as the MTN Elite One title holders defeated Bamboutos of Mbouda 2-0 in a delayed Match day eight game to record their third successive win of the season.  

The game had seemed destined to end in a frustrating goalless stalemate but the defending champions had the final say as Bamboutos succumbed to their stellar quality in the final minutes of the game.

Mamoudou Hassana found the breakthrough seven minutes to stoppage time before Marou Souiabou-author of a brace in their previous game- sealed the win with almost the last kick of the game at the 90+5 minute.  

Wednesday’s victory implies Coton Sport moves to the top half of the table. They are now 6^th on the logs with 11 points.

Canon Returns to form in impressive fashion

Hughes Eyango Priso scored a first half brace as 10-man Canon of Yaoundé beat Fauve Azur 3-2 to end a run of two games without winning.

The thrilling tie at the Bepanda Reunification Stadium was a game the Mekok Mengonda had to win to keep up the pressure on pool A leaders Astre of Douala, excluded from Wednesday’s games.  They didn’t disappoint and are currently only a point away from regaining their top spot.

Canon Sportive were quickly in front only after 16 minutes when Eyango Priso scored the opening goal. The youngster’s lead was cancelled barely four minutes later by Junior Kaaba.

But Eyango-now on five goals this season- was quickly back on the score sheet on 25 minutes with a brace but victory wasn’t guaranteed after their goalkeeper James Djoayang was sent off.  

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Canon continued to dominate.  Henry Paul Tchikeu converted a penalty to double their advantage as they held on to win despite Francois Boyomo’s late goal for Fauve Azur.

YOSA, Eding impress, PWD slumps again.
