Diadié Samadiaré was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Barou Sanogo in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Onze Createurs this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match17 Oct 2026
Onze Createurs see off AS Korofina
Three points for Onze Createurs, 2‑0 the final word against AS Korofina in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Ninety minutes of Mamaye Coulibaly at his very best
Marked 8.16. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Onze Createurs.

Both jobs done by Abdou Kanouté — 7.00
A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 7.00, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
A satisfied Ousmane Doumbia
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Ousmane Doumbia could afford to be generous.

Lassana Samaké gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Nothing got past Babé Diarra
13 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

The Mamaye Coulibaly talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Onze Createurs know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
- The dugout Bourama Boiré left out for tactical reasons at Onze Createurs
- Squad Mamadou Diallo finally opens his account
