In a crucial match, both Bel Air and Bosco had their own motives for securing points. Bel Air aimed to climb to the second position in the Seychelles Championship, while Bosco fought to avoid relegation to Seychelles League 1.
During the initial 50-55 minutes, Bosco displayed a strong start and appeared to have the upper hand. However, as football dictates, goals are the key to securing points.
Bel Air remained patient, biding their time for an opportunity. In the 13th minute, Jeannel found the back of the net, giving Bel Air the lead. After just six minutes of second half, Noris Bibi converted a penalty kick to extend their advantage to 2-0. Another goal swiftly followed, once again courtesy of Bibi, resulting in a resounding 3-0 victory.
Despite their success, Bel Air ended the match with ten players after Jeannel received a second yellow card for a tough challenge at the center of the field.
Currently, Bel Air sits in third place in the Seychelles Championship, trailing Tigers by two points, albeit with one game in hand for Tigers. On the other hand, Bosco occupies the eighth position, with a one-point advantage over Au Cap and a four-point lead over Mont Fleuri. However, both Au Cap and Mont Fleuri have played two fewer games, putting pressure on Bosco to accumulate points and fend off the threat of the relegation zone.
