Out, 1‑2 to Galactik, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Both of them Gbolahan Salami's — 9.91
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.91, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

CotonTchad are in among the leaders
Position 2 and 33 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

A brace, and Madaoua Tchiva takes the afternoon — 8.80
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Madaoua Tchiva provided it, and the 8.80 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around CotonTchad they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Muhammad Natsir says CotonTchad went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Age has not caught Mondli Miya yet — 7.84
At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.84 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Esaie Djikoloum attracts admirers
The name of Esaie Djikoloum has come up in conversations CotonTchad were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
