Match Report: AS Vita Club 0–0 Anges Verts | Vodacom Ligue 1
Stade des Martyrs, Kinshasa – 8 February 2026

AS Vita Club’s frustrating run of low‑scoring draws continued as they were held to a second 0–0 in eight days, this time by Anges Verts. The hosts dominated large spells but could not find a way past a resilient Anges Verts defence, leaving Vita Club in the lower half of the Vodacom Ligue 1 table.

Match Overview

Vita Club, still smarting from their stalemate with Aigles du Congo, came out with intent. New signing Hervé Luyindula, a versatile forward, led the line with energy. Anges Verts, coached by veteran Florent Ibenge, set up in a cautious 5‑4‑1, aiming to frustrate and counter. The game followed a familiar pattern: Vita pressed, Anges defended deep, and the final pass let the home side down time and again.

Key Moments

• 12th minute: Vita captain Andy Mputu hit a fierce volley from the edge of the box that drew a fine one‑handed save from Anges goalkeeper Patrick Tshikoma.
• 40th minute: Anges Verts had their best chance when winger Glody Lilepo broke free on the left, but his cross was cut out by Vita defender Gabriel Zakuani.
• 63rd minute: Luyindula chested down a long ball and fired over the bar under pressure from two defenders.
• 90th minute: Vita substitute Emmanuel Mabidé headed a corner just wide in stoppage time.

Standings Context

The result leaves AS Vita Club in eighth place with 10 points from eight matches – a disappointing start for a club that finished runner‑up last season. Anges Verts, meanwhile, climb two places to 13th. Vita Club coach Jean‑Florent Ibenge (no relation to the opposition manager) will be under pressure to find a solution to his team’s lack of goals; they have scored just three times in the league so far.

For Anges Verts, this was a valuable point on the road. Their organised defence and willingness to take a point from a challenging away fixture shows why they are considered a tough team to break down in the Vodacom Ligue 1.
