A knee injury of the worst kind for Diego Cerón
87 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Binga lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Diego Cerón asks to leave Binga
“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.

Oratile Rantasi is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

Mohamed Koumaré the difference as Binga beat Onze Createurs
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mohamed Koumaré. 2‑1 against Onze Createurs, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Moussa Coulibaly steps up from the Binga academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Moussa Coulibaly has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
