MTN Elite 1 leaders held to a draw
Unisport played away against bottom-of-the-table
Canon Sportif de Yaoundé at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo. The locals proceeded to take matters into
their own hands and opened the score after a quarter of an hour, then doubled
the count on their return from the break.
But the Flambeau de l’ouest demonstrated all
their strengths in reacting and reducing the gap, firstly on a penalty at the
hour mark, then equalising on the 71st minute.
Kpa-Kum thereby garnered their first point of
the season, but remain stuck in the depths of the league standings.
Facing Coton Sport at the Stade
de la Reunification, Union de Douala could have benefitted from Unisport's blunder,
but the coastal club also had to share points with the men from Garoua, with
the two teams parting ways on the score of 1-1.
Despite this serious blow the two
leaders still hold the lead, but they now lie only a measly point ahead of the Panthers,
who had an excellent game on Day 3.
The Fauve du Ndé won their away
game in Dschang 1-0 against the Aigle de la Menoua and as a result climb back
up to third position.
The coastal derby which saw the Astres
oppose the New Stars at the Stade de la Réunification was the occasion for the
two clubs from Douala to climb the ranks, but once again a draw was the order
of the day.
The Brésiliens de Bépanda and
their promoted neighbour nonetheless occupy 4th and 5th
positions respectively in the league.
Also noteworthy was the important
victory 3-0 of Scorpion de Bé over Tiko United at the Stade Omnisports de
Garoua.
The men from the Moungo province
thereby win their first points in the championship, leaving the Samba Boys to
stagnate in second-last position in their wake.
