With a short break in the SFF Cup games for the next 20 days, it’s an opportune time to reflect on the thrilling matches we’ve witnessed so far. In the Preliminary and First Rounds combined, we’ve been treated to 9 exciting games, resulting in a total of 57 goals. That averages to an impressive 6.33 goals per match—a true achievement that deserves a larger audience in the stands.
Among these matches, two encounters stood out: PTL Bazar Brothers versus Rovers FC and Northern Dynamo against Lightstars. These games left a lasting impact on the SFF Cup, showcasing the spirit of competition and generating excitement for future rounds. We hope to witness more thrilling encounters like these in the upcoming stages.
A notable moment occurred in the PTL Bazar Brothers versus Rovers FC match when Nick Labiche, a player from the Seychelles national team, scored a remarkable free kick in the final seconds. This goal gained significant attention, garnering over 15,000 views on social media within five days. Labiche’s near-upset had the potential to eliminate Bazar Brothers from the cup, but they managed to score three goals in extra time, securing their progression.
In addition, it’s worth noting the standout performances of the top scorers in the SFF Cup so far. Marlon Rose from Real Maldive has been in sensational form, netting an impressive 6 goals. His teammate Fenosoa Jocelyn follows closely behind with 4 goals to his name. Fredy Erika Randrianandrasana from PTL Bazar Brothers has also made his mark on the competition, matching the tally of 2 goals alongside E. Tuffour from Mavericks and Rivaldo from PTL Bazar Brothers.
As we anticipate the remaining games in the First Round of the SFF Cup, we eagerly await the entry of the biggest clubs, signaling the start of the true spectacle. Last season, La Passe FC emerged as the champions of the SFF Cup and earned the opportunity to participate in the CAF Confederations Cup Qualifications. Although they were eliminated by Academica do Lobito from Angola, their overall performance was commendable.
