At the start of the game, both teams played a short passing game with good ball circulation. Thus, Entente2 benefits from a free kick in the 10th minute. Abdoul Ganiou Alassan sends a cross into the Gomido penalty area but the defense watches closely. In the 20th minute following an action carried out on the left flank of Gomido’s defense, Tchedjiko César Sohoume from Entente2 landed a heavy shot which was deflected by Chima Emmanuel from Gomido for a corner.
The kicked corner achieves nothing. Gomido reacts after having suffered the temptations of the Kodjoviakopé club and obtains a free kick in the 25th and a corner in the 27th but each time De Souza Savant lacks inspiration to deceive the vigilance of international goalkeeper Idrissa Ogodjo of Entente2. Both teams failed to open the score until the end of the first 45 minutes.
After returning from the locker room, the players from Kpalimé took control of the game with enormous pressure on their opponents. Bawa Bako’s foals contain the Show Boys’ attacks and react from time to time with counterattacks. As the minutes pass, the meeting becomes lively with offensive incursions from both sides.
In the 70th minute on a cross from Ametepe Comlanvi Dodo, De Souza Savant recovered the ball in the middle of Entente2’s penalty area but his shot missed the left post of Idrissa Ogodjo’s goal. Moreover, the two teams stabilize the game. Despite the various changes made by the two technical staff, nothing will be marked in this part. And it was with a draw of 0 goals everywhere that the referee Agbagba Fo-Yawo whistled the end of this meeting.
The return match which will be played next weekend promises to be decisive because it will determine the team which will obtain its ticket for the rest of the competition.
