The early minutes of the game were tough for Union defenders Ebongue Ekwalla and Michel as they were given much work by Fovu forwards Nana and Alex Nandje. Kerido’s crucial 22 minutes save had to deny the visitors a chance of taking the lead.

The pressure mounted on Union defenders caused Left-back Mbeleck to mistime a tackle which earned him a direct red card at the 28th minute.

Union equally squandered free kick opportunities in the first half and a couple of other glaring opportunities infront of goal.

The first segment ended in a barren tie, an opportunity for pressures coach Oumarou Sokba to go into the locker room and work on getting the goals for Union.

Guy Eyike, was brought in at the 58th minute of play and in his second touch of the ball, he scored for the Nasara Gamakai, heading home from a rebounce shot from Gallus Eteme.

The 62’ goal for Union was the lone recorded in this encounter as hosts grabbed all three points to move directly behind Fovu with 21points.
