In a thrilling encounter at Astro Turf (Roche Caiman), an unexpected turn of events nearly resulted in an upset as Mavericks FC came close to causing a major upset against Beau Vallon.
The standout performer of the match was Fabrice, whose transfer from Anse Reunion to Beau Vallon proved to be one of the best moves of the previous transfer window. Fabrice wasted no time in making his mark, scoring a goal in the 6th minute, setting the stage for what seemed like an easy victory for his team.
However, Mavericks FC capitalized on their opponent’s complacency, punishing them for their casual approach. At half-time, the scoreline read 3-1 in favor of Mavericks FC. Hanan Melanie, Kenan Esparon, and Abdul Yunus were the goal scorers for Mavericks FC.
In the second half, Beau Vallon displayed a sense of urgency, launching a relentless offensive. The goals started pouring in from the 61st minute, with subsequent strikes in the 77th and 90th minutes, culminating in a final score of 3-4 in favor of Beau Vallon. Remarkably, all four goals in today’s match were netted by the impressive Fabrice. His exceptional performance undoubtedly warranted praise and recognition, perhaps even a bonus from chairman E. Maillet, who celebrated the final goal in the dying moments of the game.
Beau Vallon, despite their initial casual approach, managed to avoid a potential setback. With the playoffs for promotion to the Seychelles Championship on the horizon, this match serves as a timely reminder for teams to maintain focus and intensity as they compete for a coveted spot in the higher division.
