Match

No end in sight to PWD Bamenda's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at PWD Bamenda has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at PWD Bamenda

Pierre Akono 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.

The terraces

PWD Bamenda supporters have found a favourite in Alvin Binsto

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Alvin Binsto has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Zilkifilu Rabiu 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.

Player ratings

Stephane Noah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Joel Kunde chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout

No hiding place for Romeo Mfeng Nanga

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Romeo Mfeng Nanga, and the manager let it.

Match

Point won or two lost for PWD Bamenda?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Panthere du Nde? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Player ratings

Pierre Akono shuts the door

Defensive actions: 10, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

PWD Bamenda make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now PWD Bamenda have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

A falling-out at PWD Bamenda

Robert Ndip Tambe and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Stephane Noah at PWD Bamenda

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Stephane Noah is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A row about effort at PWD Bamenda

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Blaise Loïc Tsagué was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Dilane Ekongolo

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Blaise Loïc Tsagué sends PWD Bamenda past Fortuna Mfou

It finished 2‑0, and it was Blaise Loïc Tsagué’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to PWD Bamenda.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Blaise Loïc Tsagué

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

A masterclass from Dilane Ekongolo

Marked 8.17 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

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.” Joel Kunde kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

In brief
