Aigle Royal du Moungo finally broke the ice, securing their first victory of the season during the seventh matchday of the Myn Elite One. Patrice Fotso's team hosted Aigle Royal de la Menoua this Wednesday at the Melong stadium, in a clash of eagles that lived up to expectations.
The Littoral Blues, determined to erase a difficult start to the season, approached this match with a vengeful spirit, especially after their performance, deemed spectacular despite the result, against Stade Renard de Melong. Anicet Koung and his teammates were driven by the desire to reassure their fans.
From the kickoff, Aigle du Moungo displayed their offensive intentions. Junior Fanca and his partners redoubled their efforts to take the lead against an equally motivated promoted team. As the minutes ticked by, opportunities multiplied for the locals.
The pressure finally paid off in the 10th minute when Jean Onana found a flaw in the opposing defense, beating goalkeeper Franck Kombobilo and giving his team the advantage (1-0). However, El Pacha, stung to the quick, was quick to react. Eric Mefoe and his men reorganized, and in the 23rd minute, Eric Abanke brought the teams back to level terms.
Just as the match seemed to be heading for a draw, Janis Ebelle emerged in the 84th minute to give Aigle du Moungo the victory, triggering euphoria in the stands (2-1). This success allows Aigle du Moungo to move up to 10th place in the standings with 6 points, while El Pacha finds himself in 12th position with the same number of points.
The road is still long in this Elite One season, and each match represents a crucial challenge for teams in search of valuable points. Aigle du Moungo's next match will be on March 1, 2026, against Dynamo Douala.
Meanwhile, Canon de Yaoundé will face Coton Sport on February 26, 2026.
