In a remarkable turnaround, Anse Royale put an end to their streak of 29 consecutive defeats, securing a 5-3 victory over Mont Buxton United at Stad Popiler on Wednesday.
Anse Royale had been enduring a difficult period since their withdrawal from the Seychelles Premier League last season. However, they displayed resilience and determination in this match, with goals from Archille Farabeau, Trevor Carlos Esparon (2 goals), Herald Joubert, and Samuel Zialor. Congratulations to the team for breaking the negative record, relieving the pressure, and paving the way for future victories.
Mont Buxton United, on the other hand, encountered a challenging match, conceding a hat-trick of penalties to Julio Port-Louis (27th, 79th, and 81st minutes). After Mont Buxton’s late goals in the 79th and 81st minutes, it seemed they could salvage a point. However, Samuel’s goal sealed the 5-3 scoreline, making Mont Buxton United the first team in 29 consecutive defeats who failed to overcome Anse Royale. It’s worth noting that Saint Louis was the previous team to falter against Anse Royale, although they find themselves in a strong position to clinch the Seychelles Premier League title.
This victory marks a turning point for Anse Royale, providing a glimmer of hope and renewed motivation. As the season progresses, it will be fascinating to see how they build upon this success. On the other hand, Mont Buxton United will need to regroup and analyze their performance in order to bounce back from this setback.
Football is a sport filled with surprises and unpredictable outcomes, and this match serves as a testament to that. Both teams have their own unique journeys ahead, with Anse Royale seeking further triumphs and Mont Buxton United aiming to bounce back from their defeat.
