Unisport Bafang vs Colombe

Unisport Bafang were held to a goalless draw by reigning champions Colombe du Dja et Lobo at the Stade Gaston Ngadjui on Matchday 9 of the MTN Elite One. It was a tense, tight affair in Nguenack, with neither side able to find a breakthrough despite an electric atmosphere from the home faithful. The result extends a worrying run for the surprise league leaders, who are now two games without a victory after their humbling 3-0 defeat to AS Fortuna de Mfou the previous week. Coach Laurent Djam had spoken before kick-off about the need to shore up his defence, and while the backline held firm this time, his attackers lacked the cutting edge to match. Colombe, last season's champions, will be the happier of the two sides after picking up a solid point on the road in what was billed as the clash of the round. Unisport remain top of the table on 17 points, but the chasing pack is closing in — Coton Sport de Garoua climbed to second after beating Aigle de la Menoua on the same afternoon. The pressure is building in Bafang.
