Abena Jordan’s double including a debatable penalty counted for nothing in the end as goals from Ulysee Ledoux, Clifford Ngassa and Gabriel Enow for Buea United FC ensured they finally exact their revenge on the side that dumped them out of the competition in the last two seasons before failing in the semi-final stage.
Though he wasn’t amongst the scorers, substitute Motia Evaristus played a telling role – providing an assist for the breakthrough goal at the start of extra time which ended up being the turning point.
At the packed Molyko Omnisport stadium on a chill Tuesday afternoon, players of both clubs manifested their hunger for the result.
Despite five minutes of additional time Kumba City couldn’t get the equaliser as Buea United FC rather wasted the best chances to extend their lead and held on for a 3-2 win.
