Richmond Nji emerged as the hero for Victoria, scoring both goals in the second half after an early strike from Union’s Mahaman Awalou.
The match kicked off with Union Sportive making an explosive start. Mahaman Awalou found the back of the net just one minute into the game, giving Union an early lead and setting the tone for a strong first half. Union showcased a solid defensive performance, effectively containing Victoria’s attacks while creating several promising opportunities of their own. Despite their efforts, they were unable to extend their advantage, leaving them vulnerable as the match progressed.

Richmond Nji capitalized on these mistakes, scoring his first goal in the 62nd minute to level the score. His second goal came in the 83rd minute, completing the turnaround and sending Victoria supporters into jubilation. Nji’s performance not only secured three vital points for his team but also marked his return to form after a challenging period.
Following the match, Bonaventure Djonkep, Newly appointed coach of Union Sportive, acknowledged the need for improvement. He mentioned that he had analyzed his team’s recent performances and was determined to impose his tactical vision moving forward.

This victory is a significant boost for Victoria United as they aim to climb up the league table. With Richmond Nji back on the score sheet and demonstrating his potential, Opopo will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
