MTN Elite TWO leaders, Victoria United, suffered a massive setback when they lost their matchday 22 clash against Dynamo De Douala on Thursday.
OPOPO drew first blood in the game, played at Annex 1 of the Japoma Stadium, when Djacba Junior converted a 51st-minute Penalty.
Victoria United's Promotion Hopes Suffer Setback.
Mathias Malep's double late in the game helped Dynamo register a come-from-behind win against the league leaders, who had won 4 of their last 5 games.
The defeat blew the promotion race wide open, with AS Lausanne just four points behind, having played a game less. In-form Aigle Du Moungo and Stade de Bertoua complete the promotion-chasing pack sitting a further three points back.
What Next for Victoria United?
Victoria United will be guaranteed promotion if they pick up 3 points from the remaining two games. Head coach GUY BERLIN will be hoping his charges can finish the job in the next game and finally bring ELITE ONE football to the South West region after a 10-year absence.
