Beau Vallon has made significant investments in their squad this season, indicating their ambition to not only compete but also to avoid relegation from the Seychelles Championship. Their determination was evident in this match, especially as they came back to level the score just before half-time.
Tigers FC, meanwhile, are in a transitional phase after losing some key players. While they have had a shaky start, it is expected that they will improve as the season progresses. Mario Matombe opened the scoring for Tigers FC in the 12th minute with a well-placed header from a corner kick. This early goal set the tone for Tigers FC, who defended their lead for a significant portion of the match.
However, Beau Vallon responded effectively. Julio Ladouce from Beau Vallon scored an equaliser in the 43rd minute, just before the half-time break. This goal was crucial for their morale and allowed them to regroup for the second half.
Both teams had opportunities to take the lead in the second half, but neither could find the back of the net. The match ended in a draw, giving each team a point to build upon.
Looking ahead, Beau Vallon will face Bosco on 18 September, while Tigers FC will play against newly promoted Muccia CDS on 1 October. Both teams will be eager to improve their standings as the season unfolds.
