The fifth round of the MTN Elite One championship concluded in spectacular fashion at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium Annex 1 in Yaoundé, where Canon de Yaoundé suffered a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Unisport du Haut-Nkam in a thrilling seven-goal encounter.
Canon made a strong start and took the lead in the 36th minute through Ako Assomo, whose finish put the “Kpakum” in control and lifted the home supporters. However, the advantage was short-lived as Fredy Mbang calmly converted from the penalty spot five minutes later to draw Unisport level before the break.
The second half exploded into life with five goals in a remarkable spell of attacking football. Unisport seized the momentum in the 52nd minute when Koloto put the visitors ahead. Jacques Edoule extended the lead in the 57th minute, and Achile Fokem added a fourth in the 64th, completing a devastating 12-minute surge that left Canon reeling.
To their credit, the Yaoundé side refused to give in. An own goal from Fredy Lobè in the 72nd minute reduced the deficit and reignited hopes of a comeback. Yann Stéphane Mbah Ndjock then struck five minutes later to make it 4-3, setting up a tense and dramatic finale.
Despite sustained late pressure and a spirited push for an equaliser, Canon could not find the decisive fourth goal. Unisport held firm to secure a memorable away victory, capping Matchday Five with one of the most entertaining fixtures of the season so far.
