MTN Elite 1: Jules Meyo ensures Avion sinks Coton Further

Defending Champions of the Cameroon Elite One Championship, Cotonsport of Garoua, have suffered another shocking defeat to Avion Academy of Douala courtesy of a goal from Jules Meyo.

The Bonamoussadi stadium in Douala hosted this crucial Match day 13 encounter pitting re-awakened Avion side to a struggling Coton who have been beaten in their last five campaigns.

The Cotonites equally did not give their opponent the opportunity to find the back of Gadin Allambatnan’s net, a defense compartment excellently secured by captain, Che Malone Fondong.

The first segment ended in a barren draw, an opportunity for pressured coach Hassan to go into the locker room and work on getting the goals.

Before the referee’s blast for the start of the second half, coach Nganbe David of Avion brought in Tchoyi Ginola and former Cotonsport product, Mbohou Adamou to reinforce his attack line.

After much efforts from both sides to take the lead, Jules Meyo became the game changer at the 65th minute. He scored a beautiful distant goal, outsmarting goalkeeper Gadin.

Avion did not have a favoured first round of the competition,which saw them seat amongst the bottom two even before this encounter but in this reverse fixtures, they smashed powerhouses like Eding Sport de Lekie, Colombe of the Dja and Lobo and now reigning champions, Cotonsport of Garoua.

Despite making a few substitutions at the attack line bringing out Ramses Donfack and helpless Patient Wassou for pact little Boubakari Dahiru, Brice Ebondje and Abdouraman Daman, his boys could not get an equalizer.

However, Cotonsport are still two points ahead of Avion despite the disappointing result.
