Elite One: Canon Held By Djiko FC

At the Ngoa Ekelle Stadium in Yaounde, big money spenders Canon couldn’t solve the Djiko FC puzzle within 90 minutes of the ball game, on match day one of the MTN Elite One on Sunday, October 16.

Coach Jean Baptiste Bisseck and his boys found Djiko FC a hard but to crack, as they couldn’t score the entire game, despite fielding in the ever effective Tombi Alemi, coupled with the creativity of Francis Pierre Baliang.

Djiko’s gaffer, Dieudonne Nke opted for a more defensive approach towards the game knowing his team couldn’t match Canon stride for stride, yet, goalkeeper Sadjo Eric still had to make some fantastic saves.

Canon, having made it through the semis of last season’s championship and won bronze, definitely now know the journey wouldn’t be any easier in group A this time. They face off against Avion Academy next.
