Match

Stade Malien tear Afrique Foot Elite apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against Afrique Foot Elite, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Moussa Maréga scores twice — 9.15

Two goals and a mark of 9.15 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

Stade Malien cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Malien

Moussa Maréga and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Samba Diallo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces

One of their own: Abdullah Monkhallah

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings

One of those days for Mamadou Traoré

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Djigui Diaby kept it short after the 4‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad

Words at Stade Malien training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mamadou Doumbia 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.

Market

Diadié Samadiaré has said yes to Canon Yaounde

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Stade Malien have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Stade Malien say no — this time

The offer from Canon Yaounde for Abdullah Monkhallah was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Barou Sanogo turns down Stade Malien

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market

Abdoulaye Coulibaly attracts admirers

The name of Abdoulaye Coulibaly has come up in conversations Stade Malien were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Malien

Moussa Diallo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Yacouba Doumbia has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Stade Malien know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Moro Traoré has said yes to Afrique Foot Elite

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Stade Malien have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Méry Camara says no to PWD Bamenda

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Méry Camara had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Stade Malien turn down AS Bakaridjan for N'Golo Traoré

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Diadié Samadiaré attracts admirers

The name of Diadié Samadiaré has come up in conversations Stade Malien were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Moussa Diallo 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 Stade Malien this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Stade Malien try to borrow Rik Vercauteren

Lommel have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
