On 27 September 2024, Anse Royale faced Bel Ombre at Stad Popiler, with the match concluding in a 3-1 victory for Bel Ombre. At half-time, Bel Ombre led 1-0, showcasing their form and determination.
Anse Royale appeared to be struggling, as they could only field 4 players on the bench for this match. This situation raises concerns about the club’s depth and fitness as the season progresses. Fans will hope this does not signal a return to tougher times for the team.
In the match, Frudalie Falimarilda scored for Bel Ombre in the 10th minute, followed by Brad Julie in the 73rd and Days Biandray in the 86th. Tojo Nirina scored for Anse Royale in the 58th minute.
On the other hand, Bel Ombre continues to deliver the results expected of them, winning game after game. Their steady performance has kept them in contention at the top of the table. Although Jim Loizeau did not score in this match, his past statistics in the third division show he scored one goal every 94 minutes, which should concern the next opponent. His ability to find the net means defenders will need to stay alert.
Titus Cooper came on from the bench in the 61st minute, replacing Jim Loizeau. It’s a shame we couldn’t see them both on the field at the same time, as their combination could be a game-changer at the League 1 level. Their collaboration could prove vital for Bel Ombre as they push for the title.
Bel Ombre looks well-prepared to compete for the League 1 title, showing resilience and skill in their matches. As the season unfolds, they will aim to maintain this momentum and solidify their position at the top. For Anse Royale, the focus will need to be on strengthening their squad and finding ways to improve their performances moving forward.
