PWD de Bamenda earned a gritty 2–1 victory away at Panthere Sportive du Nde, moving further away from the relegation zone and toppling their hosts in a physical contest that saw four yellow cards and one crucial red.

Match Story

The match started at a frantic pace. Panthere took the lead in the 18th minute when striker Pierre Kamga turned his marker and fired a low shot into the corner from inside the box. The home side seemed in control, but PWD equalised just before the half-hour mark through a well-placed header from central defender Kevin Tchami following a set piece.

The turning point came in the 52nd minute. Panthere’s midfielder Yannick Essomba was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle in the centre circle, leaving the hosts with ten men for the remainder of the match. PWD capitalised on the numerical advantage in the 73rd minute when substitute Frankline Mbarga latched onto a through ball and slotted past the goalkeeper.

The red card changed the game, but we still had to execute.”
