Canon Yaoundé Return to Winning Ways in Elite One

Canon Yaoundé have bounced back from a run of three consecutive draws by beating Unisport 2-1 on matchday five of the Cameroonian league.

The Yaoundé side took an early lead thanks to Albert Ateba, who scored both of his team’s goals in the first half. The striker netted in the 11th and 25th minutes, giving Canon a comfortable advantage going into the second half.

Unisport tried to mount a comeback towards the end of the match, but Desmond Kameni’s goal in the 81st minute was not enough to prevent defeat for the Bafang-based club.

The win has lifted Canon Yaoundé to provisional top spot in the Elite One table, while Unisport de Bafang have suffered their first defeat of the season. The Bafang club are now third in the league with eight points after five matchdays.
