Red Star DF faced a tough defeat against Tigers FC at Stad Linite, with a full-time score of 1:3. Despite taking an early lead through Mohammed Varney’s goal, Red Star DF couldn’t hold on. Tigers FC equalized with a penalty, and in the second half, Red Star DF missed their own penalty, leading to their downfall.
The match highlighted Red Star DF’s ongoing struggles, with limited time left in the season to turn things around. With just 8 days remaining in the transfer window, they face a race against time to strengthen their squad. Failure to do so could result in relegation to the Seychelles Championship, a disappointing outcome for a club that has tasted past success.
Last night, on Tigers FC’s official Instagram page, we discovered that #10 Kim Chang-Tak-Hue was crowned Man of the Match.
Interestingly, our Instagram poll indicated that the football community believed Tigers FC had the edge, with 54% of the votes favoring them to triumph over the “Army club.” Tigers FC now faces the challenge of balancing two competitions simultaneously, as they are also contenders in the tightly contested Seychelles Championship title race.
As the season reaches its climax, both Red Star DF and Tigers FC face crucial moments that will shape their respective fates. With high stakes and limited time, it remains to be seen how both teams will navigate the remaining matches and whether Red Star DF can find the solutions needed to salvage their season.
