The match unfolded under the blistering sun at Mbappe Leppe Stadium on Sunday, November 24, 2024 where both teams were eager to add silverware to their cabinets.
Colombe struck first in the 16th minute when Zacharie Arthur Yene unleashed a stunning strike that left Victoria’s keeper, Parfait Djomeni, with no chance. This goal set the tone for a fiercely contested encounter, as Colombe’s midfielders controlled the tempo with the passing and intelligent movement.
The first half end on a 1-0 scoreline South doves displayed remarkable resilience in the minutes of the second period. However, the reigning league champions, Victoria United, were not to be ne. They launched a series of attacks, putting Corombe’s defense to the test.
The turning point came in the 59th minute when goalkeeper Idrissou Nfor misjudged a pressing play from Nathan Douala, allowing Douala to slot home the equalizer and breathe new life into Victoria United.
With the score level, the boys of Felipe Moreno appeared to be aiming for penalties as fatigue set in among their players. Handzongo, a recent addition to the squad, was introduced as a substitute in the 73rd minute, and his impact was immediate.
With the match heading into extra time, Handzongo became the hero of the day. Just two minutes into the additional period, he found the back of the net with a finish that sent the Colombe faithful into raptures. The drama not only secured Colombe their first Super Cup title but also established them as a dable force in domestic football.
