Match

US Moursal tear Renaissance apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 6‑2 against Renaissance, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Marius Bechir takes the afternoon — 9.45

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Marius Bechir provided it, and the 9.45 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

3 goals for Ahmat Ndoram

The match ball belongs to Ahmat Ndoram, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Market

a squad player asks to leave US Moursal

“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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about US Moursal and Renaissance in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Words exchanged at US Moursal

Anthony Balogun 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

Ahmat Ndoram in the eights

A performance of 9.80 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

6 unbeaten for US Moursal

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation US Moursal did not have in the autumn.

Squad

A row about effort at US Moursal

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

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Anthony Balogun

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Oumar Allamine asks to leave US Moursal

“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.

Squad

Words at US Moursal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Saleh Abba 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Oumar Hissein

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch

Marius Abba wants to come home

“I did not go to AS DGSSIE to sit and watch. I want to come back to US Moursal and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Match

US Moursal and Galactik take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Sofiane El Haddadi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. 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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Brahim Ngaradoumbe was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the US Moursal dressing room was either.

Squad

A first team debut at 20 for Oumar Mbaiguedem

Off the academy pitches and into a senior shirt, at 20. The parents in the stand will keep the programme, and so will he.

Market

Saleh Mahamat hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what US Moursal can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Marius Mbainaissem is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 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

A late step up for Anthony Balogun

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Words at US Moursal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Saleh Abba 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.

Squad

A falling-out at US Moursal

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

Match

US Moursal find a way past Stars Jeunes Talents

Stars Jeunes Talents made US Moursal work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Marius Bechir was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.07. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

Adam Souleymane 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.

Loan watch

Issa Abakar has seen enough of Aiglons

“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 US Moursal, and 1 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.
