On 9 November 2024, Anse Reunion faced PTL Bazar Brothers at La Digue Sports Complex, securing a vital 3-1 victory. This win allowed Anse Reunion to move four points ahead of Cote d’Or, who currently sit in second place after their recent win over defending champions St. Louis.
The first half saw PTL Bazar Brothers take the lead when Niel Confiance scored in the 20th minute, making the halftime score 1-0. Despite their efforts, Anse Reunion struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, trailing behind as they went into the break. However, the second half brought a renewed sense of determination.
Aristide Veve levelled the match for Anse Reunion shortly after the restart, scoring to make it 1-1. This goal shifted the momentum in favour of the home team, and they continued to apply pressure. In the 72nd minute, Iavo converted a penalty after Veve was fouled in the box, putting Anse Reunion ahead 2-1. The final goal came from an own goal by Vanerick Michel, although it could also be credited to Zo.
Aristide Veve was undoubtedly the standout player of the match, being involved in all three goals that led to the comeback victory. His performance was instrumental in helping Anse Reunion secure the three points, which are crucial for their title ambitions.
On the other hand, PTL Bazar Brothers made two early substitutions, bringing on fresh legs after Evariste and Thiery Camille were replaced. It remains to be seen if they sustained injuries, but their absence was felt in the second half. Despite their lower position on the league table, PTL Bazar Brothers have shown signs of improvement and confidence, suggesting they might still turn their season around.
