Jeunes Fauves vs Victoria United

New boss Théodore Ngatchou marked his first game in charge with a hard-earned point as Fauve Azur Elite held 2024 champions Victoria United to a 0-0 draw in Yaoundé. The Monday night clash, which closed out Matchday 9 of the MTN Elite One, saw the struggling hosts dig deep to frustrate a Victoria United side chasing a top-four spot. Neither team could find a breakthrough at the Stade annexe n°1 du complexe omnisports, with defences on top throughout. For Ngatchou, returning to Fauve Azur for a third spell after replacing the sacked Olivier Nankam, it was a disciplined display from a squad that had managed just two wins from their opening eight games. The point lifts Fauve Azur to 7 points but they remain 13th in the 14-team table, still deep in a relegation battle. Victoria United stay 6th on 14 points and will rue the missed chance to close the gap on leaders Unisport de Bafang, who were also held to a draw this weekend.
