From kickoff, it was clear the big cats came to hunt. Panthère, sitting in 4th place and eyeing a top-three leap, launched a jaw-dropping first-half ambush. Goals in the 9th, 17th, and 26th minutes left Les Astres shell-shocked and reeling before the halftime whistle even blew. It was swift, ruthless, and gloriously effective.

Les Astres—who had earned respect with a gritty draw in their last outing—looked completely outmatched in the first 45 minutes. By the time Panthère added a fourth goal in the 69th minute, the match had already turned into a celebration for the home fans. A late strike from Les Astres in the 83rd minute offered faint consolation, but the damage was done.

Table Implications:

This dominant win lifts Panthère du Ndé to 38 points, reinforcing their stronghold on 4th place and pushing them closer to the top-three bracket. Their unbeaten streak now stands at nine games, a blistering run that underlines their credentials as serious title contenders.

For Les Astres, who remain stuck on 29 points in 8th place, this heavy defeat was a reality check. After showing resilience in recent games, they’ll need to regroup fast to avoid sliding further in this unforgiving league.

Panthère’s claws are out, and the MTN Elite One jungle is on notice. Their blend of flair, fire, and form is turning heads across the country—and Bandjoun is quickly becoming a fortress.
