Elite One: ‘Giant Killers’ Renaissance Defeat Canon

From successive victories, Canon fell down flat for the first time this season against Renaissance of Ngoumou on match day 6 of the MTN Elite One.

Canon started on a fine footing with new recruit, Francis Pierre Baliang putting them ahead after only four minutes of the ball game.

The charges of coach Jean Baptiste Bisseck then switched off which led Renaissance to sniff a chance.

A goal at the half hour mark by Zock A Zock pulled Renaissance to level terms, and the both teams went to the break with parity.

Renaissance looked the more enterprising and sensed blood before going for the kill.

Former Canon of Yaounde man, Mbida Anguissa struck in the latter stages to give maximum points to the underdogs.

Canon maintains 3rd position, though a win would have taken them above Cotonsport on the classification table.

A direct battle for second place will pit Cotonsport against Canon Sportif at the Roumde Adjia stadium.

Renaissance meanwhile move steps away from the bottom, as they are placed 7th with 7 points, before match day 7 in group B.
