The game began with a strong start from Glacis. In the 22nd minute, Marcus Emmanuel scored from the penalty spot, giving his team a 1-0 lead. This early goal set the tone for the match and provided Glacis with momentum.
After this match, Mont Buxton remains winless in the third division, alongside St. Louis Challengers and Mavericks, both with zero points.
In the second half, Serge Labrosse doubled the lead for Glacis in the 61st minute, making it 2-0. However, Mont Buxton responded quickly. Just two minutes later, in the 63rd minute, Jean-Luc Hoareau found the net, reducing the deficit to 2-1 and reigniting hope for Mont Buxton.
Despite this resurgence, Glacis quickly regained control. In the 67th minute, Labrosse scored his second goal of the match, sealing the victory with a final score of 3-1.
Following this match, Mont Buxton remains without a win in the third division, joining St. Louis Challengers and Mavericks with zero points after two rounds.
