LMS United emerged victorious in their match of the season, claiming a crucial 2-1 win over Rovers FC at Stad Linite. The result provided a much-needed boost to LMS United’s hopes of escaping the relegation zone. With two games in hand compared to Bosco, who have already completed nine rounds, LMS United is eager to capitalise on their advantage and climb up the standings.
The match started with an early breakthrough for LMS United as Nelson Jeannet found the back of the net in the 23rd minute, giving his team a 1-0 lead. However, Rovers FC quickly responded, with Rhio Damoo equalizing in the 32nd minute, leveling the score at 1-1 going into halftime.
In the second half, LMS United showed resilience and determination, ultimately securing the decisive goal in the 56th minute through a strike from Shaquil Gianni Songoire. Despite Rovers FC’s dominance in ball possession, shots on goal, and passes, they were unable to find the back of the net again. It was a frustrating day for Rovers FC, who struggled to capitalize on their statistical advantages.
The match also marked the return of Abdul Jumaye to Rovers FC from PTL Bazar Brother. The club has high expectations for Jumaye, considering him a key signing for the future. His presence on the field provided a glimmer of hope for Rovers FC, who look to bounce back from the defeat and rely on Jumaye’s skills to strengthen their squad.
LMS United’s victory puts them in a more favourable position as they strive to climb out of the relegation zone. The pressure now mounts on clubs like Au Cap and Mont Fleuri, who are just outside the danger zone. LMS United will look to build on this win as they continue their campaign in Seychelles’ highly competitive football league.
