The match showcased Au Cap‘s improvement since their first round, as they had players available on the bench, indicating that previous issues had been resolved.
Mavericks have struggled this season already, currently sitting 9th in Seychelles League 1. They have yet to earn a point from their first two matches and have not scored a goal. This match continued their difficult start, as they were unable to match the intensity of Au Cap.
The first half ended goalless, but Au Cap came out strong in the second half. Juliano Vidot opened the scoring in the 49th minute, giving Au Cap the lead they needed. Just four minutes later, Trevor Esparon converted a penalty, extending their lead to 2-0. Vidot scored again in the 88th minute to seal the match with a final score of 3-0.
Currently, Trevor Esparon leads the goalscorers list in Seychelles League 1 with 4 goals, highlighting his crucial role in the team’s success.
Earlier in the match, Au Cap had a chance to take the lead in the 15th minute with a penalty, but it was unfortunately sent over the bar. Despite this missed opportunity, Au Cap maintained their composure and dominated the game.
After being relegated from the Seychelles Championship and losing key players, many expected Au Cap to struggle this season. However, they have surprised critics with their strong performances at Stad Popiler, showing resilience and determination.
Au Cap will look to build on this victory in their upcoming matches, while Mavericks need to regroup and find a way to turn their season around.
