Player ratings8 Dec 2042

A brace, and Maxime Ganago takes the afternoon — 9.47

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Maxime Ganago provided it, and the 9.47 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad8 Dec 2042

Keagan Grobler breaks a bone — 39 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 39 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings8 Dec 2042

Both of them Nathan Doualla's — 8.01

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.01, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad8 Dec 2042

14 seasons of Pero Dunkić

136 appearances across 14 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Canon Yaounde know what they have.

Match6 Dec 2042

Canon Yaounde cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad8 Dec 2042

Andre Embolo says Canon Yaounde went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad8 Dec 2042

Defences have started doubling up on Maxime Ganago

14 goals and a season average of 7.46 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match6 Dec 2042

Canon Yaounde get the job done against Gazelle Garoua

A 4‑3 win over Gazelle Garoua, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Match6 Dec 2042

7 goals as Canon Yaounde and Gazelle Garoua go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Canon Yaounde and Gazelle Garoua, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match22 Feb 2042

The run at home goes on for Canon Yaounde

20 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Player ratings24 Feb 2042

Both of them Maxime Ganago's — 9.14

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.14, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad24 Feb 2042

Maxime Ganago is carrying Canon Yaounde

22 goals and a season average of 7.52. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match22 Feb 2042

Canon Yaounde cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad24 Feb 2042

Tempers go at Canon Yaounde

Nathan Doualla was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match22 Feb 2042

Maxime Ganago sends Canon Yaounde past Cotonsport Garoua

It finished 3‑1, and it was Maxime Ganago’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Canon Yaounde.

Squad24 Feb 2042

Words at Canon Yaounde training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Issa Bangfome is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces24 Feb 2042

The crowd has taken to Edgar Mbeumo

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad24 Feb 2042

Andre Embolo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andre Embolo commits to Canon Yaounde for another 3 years.

Match23 Nov 2041

A hiding for Canon Yaounde

Beaten 2‑5 by Cotonsport Garoua, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad25 Nov 2041

Fabrice Onguene keeps Canon Yaounde in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad25 Nov 2041

Andre Embolo keeps the receipts

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

Squad25 Nov 2041

Joël Paten 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 Canon Yaounde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match23 Nov 2041

7 goals as Canon Yaounde and Cotonsport Garoua go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Canon Yaounde and Cotonsport Garoua, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings25 Nov 2041

Nobody could get near Pierre Mbarga

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
