Canon Sportif of Yaoundé returned to winning ways in the sixth matchday of Elite One, defeating Dynamo Douala 2-0. This match, a classic of Cameroonian football, took place at the Reunification Stadium in Douala, where the visitors surprised from the outset. Juste Nkoulou opened the scoring in the 6th minute, outwitting the opposing defense.
Canon, under pressure from its supporters after a home defeat against Unisport du Haut-Nkam, desperately needed this victory. Coach Patrice Noukeu, whose job was on the line, can breathe a sigh of relief after this performance. The team showed unwavering determination, despite Dynamo Douala's attempts to regain control of the match, notably through Marc Dynam Atangana.
In the second half, Franck Belobo dashed the locals' hopes by scoring the second goal in the 53rd minute, sealing Canon's victory. The absence of Jules Armand Kooh was a major handicap for Dynamo Douala, who failed to reverse the trend. Despite a missed penalty in the 60th minute, Canon maintained their lead.
