Yet, what followed was a showcase of pure grit: Fauve Azur dug deep, organized, and refused to crumble, holding the champions at bay through a tense, goalless first half.

Sensing opportunity with the numerical advantage, Victoria United threw bodies forward after the break, pressing high and hard. Their relentless pressure finally paid off in the 53rd minute, breaking Fauve Azur's brave resistance with a decisive strike to seize a 1-0 lead.

From there, Victoria showed the composure of true champions, controlling the tempo and expertly managing the match to protect their narrow but precious lead. Fauve Azur, to their immense credit, battled fiercely until the final whistle, but the odds proved too steep against a Victoria side determined to clinch all three points.
