Cameroon Cup: First coronation for UMS

L’Union des Mouvements Sportifs (UMS) de Loum has written its history, by winning its first Cup of Cameroon.

For a first attempt, the men of coach Olivier Nankam achieved a master stroke, by defeating Panther of Nde, a score of 2-0 this Sunday at the Omnisports stadium in Yaounde.

Beaten 2-0 in the first leg of the championship, before conceding a draw (1-1) in the return phase, the club from Loum took her revenge this time.

After a tight first half (0-0), Romuald Monthé and his teammates showed another side during the second half. And that's Nsameli who was the first person to score the first goal for UMS (1-0). Alphonse Tientcheu further shattered the equalization hopes of Panther by increasing tally to 2-0 at the 90th minute.

It was a deserved coronation for the men of Honourable Peter Kwemo. The Unionists have indeed been through a difficult journey, but each time, they managed to get rid of the obstacle that blocked their way.

As when they eliminate Union Sportive of Douala 1/8 final, Coton Sport in the quarter-final, Les Astres in the quarterfinals and then Botafogo of Douala in the semifinals and now Panthère du Ndé in the final.

For the record, UMS has reached the last four of this competition in the previous two editions.
