Soccer: Coton Sport champion of Cameroon 2022
Coton Sport retains the title of Cameroon champion.
Coton Sport consolidates its leadership in Cameroonian football. The Garoua club is crowned champion of Cameroon for the 17th time in its history. A second consecutive title for the Greens and Whites who beat Eding de la Lékié (1-1, tab 3-2), this Sunday July 3, in the final of the championship play-offs.
The evening had started however badly for Coton Sport. In difficulty in their lair at the Roumdé Adjia stadium, the Cotonculteurs were surprised by Prince Junior Sime who opened the scoring in the 70th minute . Dominating, the players of Bonaventure Djonkep continued to push. And while they already saw themselves champions of Cameroon for the second time in their history, Kaiba Djawal will smash all their hopes at the end of the match. The 19-year-old midfielder equalized in added time (1-1, 90 th +2).
The two teams will then go blow for blow during the extension. But the attackers of one camp or the other will have their feet frozen. We had to wait for the fateful penalty shootout to decide between the two teams. And in this game, the Coton Sport goalkeeper was a real asset: Derrick Anye stopped three penalties and allowed his team to win 3-2.
