The 2022/23 SFF Cup kicked off with an intriguing clash between Anse Royale and Mont Buxton at Stad Popiler. These two struggling teams from the bottom of the Seychelles League 1 were desperate for a glimmer of hope after a winless league campaign thus far.
Glacis, currently positioned 3rd in the league, have been chasing Bel Ombre and Muccia in the standings. Known for their attacking prowess, Glacis boasts the second-highest goal tally in the league, having scored an impressive 16 goals. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, and if they aim to secure a playoff position, tightening up their defense will be crucial.
With the draw, Mont Buxton United earned their first point of the season, leaving Anse Royale as the only team in the league without any points. Baie Lazare, currently sitting in 3rd place in the Seychelles League 1 with 9 points, had a strong start to the season with two consecutive wins but have now gone four games without a victory.
