In a highly anticipated clash at Stad Amitie on Tuesday, La Passe and Lightstars battled it out in a fiercely contested match. The game ended with Lightstars emerging victorious with a 1-0 scoreline, thanks to a goal from Nirina Angericot in the 73rd minute.
La Passe FC seemed to be facing some challenges recently, as their performance indicated signs of a crisis. Even in their win against Red Star DF, they struggled at times and were dominated by their opponents. The downward trend for La Passe began with a goalless draw against Anse Reunion in their first match after the festive break.
With this defeat, La Passe FC finds themselves in fourth position, trailing the league leaders, Foresters and Saint Louis, by three points. To remain in the title race until the end of the season, La Passe will need to secure victories in their remaining seven games. However, even if they manage to win all their matches, there is no guarantee they will be crowned champions.
On the other hand, Lightstars showcased their resilience by securing the crucial victory, which puts them back in contention among the top teams. Despite dropping points in two of their previous four games, this win has rejuvenated their title aspirations and drawn attention to their capabilities. Kudos to Lightstars for a job well done.
It is worth highlighting Nirina Angericot’s standout performance, as he notched the decisive goal, securing three vital points for his team. His contribution played a key role in Lightstars’ triumph.
As the league season progresses, La Passe FC will need to regroup and address their recent struggles, while Lightstars can seize the momentum from this victory to propel themselves in the title race. The competition promises to intensify, and fans can expect many more thrilling encounters as teams vie for glory in the Seychelles football league.
