A knee injury of the worst kind for Marc Onguene
18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Panthere du Nde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A fracture rules Abdelkrim Oukali out for 16 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Panthere du Nde will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Nobody could get near John Omondi
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A bad afternoon for Panthere du Nde against Aigle Royal de la Menoua
1‑2 to Aigle Royal de la Menoua, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
