Cup of Cameroon: Canon have one foot in, APEJES need more

After the ¼ finals of the Cup of Cameroon football played last Wednesday, October 29, sports Canon Yaounde performed well with their little brothers in the same city, Hurricane. One could not say the same for APEJES Mfou, who were forced to share points with UMS Loum.

Everything is a needed for APEJES Mfou in this phase of the competition. If Coach Guy Bertin and his colleague Ndjepnang want to be in the finals in this edition of the Cup of Cameroon, they must work harder in the return leg with the Union sports movements of Loum this weekend.

After all no one conceded on Wednesday 29th October in the Nfandena game, it is essential to have a win or a draw with at least two goals. If they get a goalless draw, UMS qualifies.

With no goals for all, both teams will have to fall on penalties. To avoid all these calculations the team will have to activate Mfou to score at least one goal, while avoiding to take one back too. But the task does not look easy at all, especially since the team played at home earlier against Loum.

The pressure will be in camp APEJES, but it is sometimes difficult to recognize that with the big teams. In all cases, the return match will be very exciting, especially as both teams who are newly promoted to League 1 this year, needs to prove that they did not arrive by chance. In any case, the public is going to enjoy the spectacle.

In the derby between Yaounde Hurricane Canon, it will be difficult for Hurricane. After losing 1-2 before facing Canon, Hurricane will have it hard to turn the tide against the "Kpa-Kum" in search of their 12th national crown.

In addition, the team Nkoldongo are fighting against relegation, wanting to save their season to "Africa". And to do that, Hurricane Yaounde must first be reduced to a mere breath. A simple draw is needed by Canon to continue the adventure. But beware, a victory of a goal to zero for Hurricane will be largely sufficient to reverse the trend and propel them to the semi-final.

Panther Nde were also a good match in the game last Wednesday. They got 1-0 win against Kumbo Strikers, who played at home. In the return match, the Nde team just need a draw to qualify.

The Kumbo players hope to continue the race as they need to win with a margin of one goal against the Panther brand. As a reminder, the return game is on Saturday 02 and Sunday, November 3.
