Coming off a frustrating goalless draw last week, the Green-and-White army of Garoua looked like a team on a mission – and they wasted no time announcing their intent. Barely seven minutes into the contest, the hosts struck gold, slicing through Canon’s defense with surgical precision to grab the opener and ignite the home crowd.

Canon, who came into the match hoping to build on their solid draw from Matchday 21, found themselves reeling under a barrage of Coton pressure. That pressure paid dividends again in the 32nd minute, as Coton Sport doubled their lead with a composed finish to make it 2-0 before halftime. The title hopefuls went into the break in full control, showing exactly why they remain a constant threat in the top tier.

The second half, however, was no formality. Canon Yaoundé, one of the league's most storied clubs, refused to bow out quietly. The Mekok Megonda came alive midway through the half and found their breakthrough in the 74th minute – a glimmer of hope that sparked a spirited push for an equalizer. But Coton, seasoned and unflinching on their home turf, held their line like true contenders.

At the final whistle, it was Coton Sport who stood tall – a 2-1 victory that not only lifted them to 40 points but also reaffirmed their hunger for Elite One supremacy. They stay firmly in the top three and keep the pressure mounting on the leaders above.

For Canon Yaoundé, the loss is a bitter pill. Still on 31 points, they remain in the chasing pack but will rue the missed opportunity to climb the standings in what is shaping up to be a blockbuster finish to the season.
