Player ratings

Edmond Sindjo scores twice — 8.85

Two goals and a mark of 8.85 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Only the photograph left for Marcel Djialeu

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marcel Djialeu will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colombe du Dja et Lobo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Marius Essapa Esseme is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Yvan Mvondo Olama 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yvan Mvondo Olama

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Colombe du Dja et Lobo get the job done against Gazelle Garoua

A 2‑1 win over Gazelle Garoua, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Match

Colombe du Dja et Lobo settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Gazelle Garoua spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Squad

Hamidou Hamza falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch

Patrick Fergani has seen enough of Victoria United

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Colombe du Dja et Lobo, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Market

Marius Essapa Esseme asks to leave Colombe du Dja et Lobo

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $40.0K sale of Steeve Lima

He is going to Panthere du Nde, the club has $40.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Tempers go at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Yvan Mvondo Olama was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Steeve Lima moves on

Panthere du Nde pay $40.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Marcel Djialeu attracts admirers

The name of Marcel Djialeu has come up in conversations Colombe du Dja et Lobo were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words at Colombe du Dja et Lobo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hamidou Hamza is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
