In a match with little at stake as both teams were already out of the title race, Lightstars and La Passe faced off in an intriguing encounter at Stad Amitie. However, the game held significance for a few players who were vying for the coveted top scorer position in the Seychelles Premier League.
The match kicked off with an early breakthrough as Jerron Jones Joubert found the back of the net in the 11th minute, giving Lightstars a 1-0 lead. However, Loic Odilson responded for La Passe, leveling the score at 1-1 with his goal in the 39th minute. Odilson, being one of the players in contention for the top scorer title, was eager to add to his tally in hopes of finishing the season as the league’s leading goalscorer.
As the second half unfolded, Marlyn put Lightstars back in the lead with a goal, making it 2-1. Shortly after, Renick Esther extended their advantage to 3-1, sealing the victory for Lightstars. Esther, another player in the race for the top scorer title, increased the pressure on Rivaldo, who played later in the day and also scored a goal. Both Esther and Rivaldo currently have 12 goals to their name, setting up an intense battle for the top scorer crown. The spotlight now shifts to Tolotra Rajo from Northern Dynamo, who will have the opportunity to challenge for the title in their match against Cote d’Or.
In the context of the league standings, Lightstars and La Passe find themselves tied on points, currently occupying third place. With only 90 minutes remaining in the season, the outcome of their final match will determine the recipient of the bronze medal. While Saint Louis has already secured the top position and Foresters sit comfortably in second, the battle for third place remains undecided.
As the Seychelles Premier League nears its conclusion, football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the final showdown and the resolution of the top scorer contest. With every goal carrying immense significance, the last 90 minutes of the season promise to deliver excitement and determine the league’s ultimate victors.Share
