Goalless Draw in Dschang as Aigle Royal Menoua and Gazelle Fail to Score

Aigle Royal Menoua and FC Gazelle played out a drab 0‑0 draw at the Stade Municipal de Dschang on 24 May 2026, in a Cameroon Elite One fixture that never quite ignited. Both teams struggled to create clear chances, leaving fans frustrated on a cool evening in the West Region.

Match Overview

The home side, Aigle Royal Menoua, enjoyed the better of the early exchanges. Attacking midfielder Brice Mbida tested Gazelle’s goalkeeper with a curling effort from the edge of the box, but the shot was comfortably saved. FC Gazelle, known for their strong defensive organisation, absorbed pressure and looked to hit on the break through the pace of winger Samuel Nkoudou. However, neither side could fashion a clear opening in the first half.

Key Moments

After the interval, the game opened up slightly. On 58 minutes, Aigle Royal Menoua’s striker Jean‑Pierre Tchinda found space in the box but skewed his shot wide from a promising position. The best chance of the match fell to the visitors with 15 minutes remaining: a quick counter‑attack saw Nkoudou release a low cross that was desperately cleared just as striker Paul Biya was about to tap in.

Tactical Story

Aigle Royal Menoua set up in a 4‑3‑3, aiming to press high and win the ball in advanced areas. FC Gazelle adopted a more conservative 5‑4‑1, packing the midfield and relying on counter‑attacks. The home team’s inability to break down the deep‑lying defense was the story of the game.

Standout Players

• Brice Mbida (Aigle Royal Menoua) – The playmaker was lively throughout and created several half‑openings.
• Hervé Fongang (FC Gazelle) – The central defender made seven clearances and won all his aerial duels.

Season Impact

The point leaves Aigle Royal Menoua in mid‑table, while FC Gazelle stay just above the relegation scrap. Both teams will need to find more attacking impetus in their upcoming matches to climb the Elite One standings.
