The Reds made it difficult for experienced Barea players like Jean Yves and Datsiry. The leaders remain unchanged at the end of the third day of the Pure Play Football League this weekend. Fosa Juniors FC and Elgeco Plus maintain their position at the top of the group.
Fosa Juniors FC remains at the top of the Northern conference after a perfect run of three victories. On their home turf, the team from Boeny, the only unbeaten team in the competition, defeated Ajesaia 3-2 yesterday at the Rabemananjara stadium. The home club led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a goal from Vévé (45th+1). The team from Itasy equalized at the beginning of the second half, with a goal from Anjara (54th). The Felines took control and scored the winning goal in the last four minutes, with goals from Donga (84th) and Dax Kely (90th). Hosea scored a second goal to reduce the gap in injury time (90th+2).
In the other group, Elgeco Plus was held to a goalless draw at home against Inate FC Rouge on Saturday at By-Pass. The Reds resisted and even dominated in the first half. The club still lacks accuracy in finishing, with missed chances from Lalaina (10th), Angelo (17th), Tolotra “Timin” and Fitahiana (44th). The last two chances were clear but the experienced Barea goalkeeper, Nina, who is in top form, defended his goal well.
“Our players are young. They lack concentration but they played well against a big team like Elgeco,” rejoiced Ambinintsoa Ramiaravelo, coach of the IFR.
New runners-up
In the second half, the home club went on the offensive. Inate FC Rouge defended until the end of the match by strengthening their defense. Tony missed the target with his header from close range (71st). Served by Mamisoa on the right side, Liva Kely also sent the ball over the bar (75th). The Nest players Doddy and Tsila confused speed and haste in finishing. “The tactical choice in the first half did not work. By changing it, we were able to impose our game but we could not convert,” admitted Andry Hildecoeur.
In the Northern conference, AS Fanalamanga climbed three places to second position with 7 points after their clear 5-0 victory over Tsaramandroso FC on Sunday in Ambatondrazaka. Asa Diana occupies the third place with their second victory, 3-0 against KFCA.
In the Southern conference, Disciples FC moved up to second place after their second victory against 3FB Toliara (1-0) yesterday at By-Pass. Mama dropped to third place, held to a goalless draw by Zanakala FC in Imerintsiatosika. Stuck in seventh place, CFFA continued their nightmare by suffering a second defeat (1-2) against Dato FC in Manakara.
