Au Cap is making significant strides this season, with promotion to the Seychelles Championship as their primary goal. For them, anything less than this achievement would be considered a failure. The match began with a strong start from Au Cap, setting the tone early.
In the first half, Elias Larue scored the opening goal in the third minute, giving Au Cap an early advantage. Rangers fought back, and Rayhan Rose converted a penalty in the 31st minute, bringing the score to 1-1, but Daniel Gil added another in the 39th minute, extending the lead to 1-2 at halftime break.
The second half saw Elias Larue continue his strong performance, completing a hat-trick with two additional goals. Trevor Esparon also found the net, contributing to his impressive tally for September. His ability to score consistently has made him a key player for Au Cap this season.
Trevor Esparon is leading the goalscorers’ list with five goals, further solidifying his importance to Au Cap as they aim for promotion.
Despite their efforts, Rangers struggled to find their rhythm in the second half. They managed to score late in the game when Tarick Laboudallon converted another penalty in the 92nd minute. However, this goal did little to change the outcome of the match.
Currently, Seychelles League 1 features three teams with perfect records: Baie Lazare, Au Cap, and Bel Ombre. This early competition suggests an exciting title race ahead.
Rangers started the season with a win but have since faced two defeats in a row, highlighting the need for improvement. As the season progresses, they will need to regroup and find their form.
