Elite One: Gazelle Stun Les Astres To Grab First Ever 3 Points

After a parity obtained in yaounde against Dragon FC on match day one, Gazelle have extended their points tally to 4 courtesy a 1-3 win over Les Astres in an advanced match day 2 fixture.

The Reunification stadium answered present to the occasion and the game didn’t fail as it provided lots of entertainment for the neutrals.

Last season’s Cameroon cup semi finalists Gazelle, took the lead at the 24th minute and it was veteran – Yougouda Kada with a smart finish.

Seemingly stunned, Tonye Tonye’s Les Astres team turned up the steam and as they began searching for an equalizer. Mbang Simplice scored at the equalizer at the 32nd minute, to send both teams to the locker at one-all.

Considered underdogs in the contest, it was Gazelle who went ahead once more through Yougouda Kada, 4 minutes after the pose.

This time, the Northeners were not to give away their lead for anything. Perfect game management was applied, as they milked out Astres with a tight defensive scheme and then struck on the counter for a third in their favour.

Issa Moustapha’s goal five minutes after the hour mark sealed the deal for Gazelle, in a game that was considered just another business for them.

Gazelle move top of group B momentarily with four points, while Les Astres will look to bounce back on match day 3.
