Bel Air bounced back from a recent setback with a well-deserved 3-2 win over Bosco in an intense match at Stad Linite on Saturday. Both teams showed great spirit, but it was Bel Air who claimed the crucial three points.
Bel Air took an early lead through Zo Ny Fitiavana Sarobidy’s goal in the 6th minute. However, Bosco quickly responded with Ciel Phelistin Niriarivaotina finding the net, making it 1-1 at halftime.
The second half saw an impressive display from Jeannel Solonomenjanahary, as he scored in the 46th minute to put Bel Air ahead. In the closing moments, Bel Air’s Bertrand Norbert Antoine Esparon (87th minute) and Bosco’s Shaquille Francourt (88th minute) both found the back of the net. Although Bosco managed to score a late goal through Shaquille, it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
This win strengthens Bel Air’s position in 3rd place in the Seychelles Championship, while Bosco, though showing signs of improvement, remain at the bottom of the 2nd division with just one point.
