The AS Police Sentinel
Match17 Oct 2026
A hiding for AS Police
Beaten 0‑3 by FC Diarra, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Real improvement from Yacouba Ouattara at AS Police
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Yacouba Ouattara is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Nobody left the AS Police dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

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 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Hamari Djenepo to a room that had heard them before.

Oumar Koné gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A first senior shirt for Cheick Sidibe
Every debut is a small story about the future: Cheick Sidibe, 15 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Nobody could get near Malick Berthé
Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The pass was always on for Mamadou Sidibé
Chances created: 4. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.

Samba Só is available again
The suspension is over, which is the half of a ban nobody prints. He has watched from the stand for long enough to have opinions about the shape, and the manager now has a decision he did not have last week.
In brief
- Looking ahead Looking ahead: the trip to Stade Malien
- Squad Welcome back, Jailton Mundo
