A knee injury of the worst kind for Armel Ndong Nze
46 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Canon Yaounde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Yann Mbah Ndjock breaks a bone — 116 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 116 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Sunday Aniebet takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

No sign of nerves from Sunday Aniebet at 19 — 8.14
The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Sunday Aniebet did not need any: 8.14, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Franck Steve Belobo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Rodrigue Ella is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Graduation day at Canon Yaounde
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Canon Yaounde find a way past Gazelle Garoua
Gazelle Garoua made Canon Yaounde work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.
