In Douala, Colombe Sportive of the South delivered a commanding performance, defeating Dauphine Football Academy with a resounding 5-0 victory at Tercocam Stadium in Bonamoussadi.
Originally scheduled to face the Brazilians, the South Doves had to adjust their plans and faced the football academy instead, due to their intended opponents being embroiled in a crisis.
