Marked for Adam Adoum

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Idriss Oumar

120 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Galactik lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout

Hassan Moustapha keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Galactik may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Adam Adoum scores twice — 8.16

Two goals and a mark of 8.16 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Real improvement from Ezechiel Ndoram at Galactik

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ezechiel Ndoram is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words exchanged at Galactik

Hassan Moustapha 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Adam Adoum

He is 14 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

Benjamin Ngakoutou has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Match

Galactik caught on 93 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Gazelle scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Match

Galactik share the spoils with Gazelle

A 2‑2 draw with Gazelle leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

The knee: Idriss Oumar out for 134 days

134 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Galactik lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Idriss Oumar stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Ousmane Biani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Galactik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Galactik against Foullah Edifice

1‑2 to Foullah Edifice, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Hassan Moustapha 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Brahim Doungous

“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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Djibrine Hissein to a room that had heard them before.

Boardroom

Galactik say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Player ratings

Adam Adoum runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief
