Bamboutos lift UNIFFAC Cup (03.11.2004)
Martin Etonge
Cameroon’s Bamboutos Mbouda have also made history by winning the first edition of the Central African Football Union (UNIFFAC) inter-club cup.
Playing in the return leg final on Sunday October 31 in Douala, Bamboutos edged Gabon’s FC 105 6-5 in post match penalty kicks.
The first leg final had finished 2-1 in favour of FC 105. Bamboutos were almost going to win until the last minute when substitute Christ Bongo pulled one goal back for the match to end 2-1 to Bamboutos.
After a sluggish first half, Bamboutos stepped up a gear in the second. Apparently, it needed some changes for the goals to begin coming in. One minute after Alain Ngwompo came in for Innocent Moffo, he hammered in the curtain raiser with a perfect left foot half volley in the 74th minute.
Ten minutes
later, Jean Moukoko Mboule made it two nil for Bamboutos after they gained full form. Moukoko connected a perfect cross from Philemon Essosso to bring the trophy within lifting range in a few minutes.
However, the fans of Bamboutos had to wait for long again as FC 105’s Mbongo scored late into the game to take it to penalties. And the penalties also went into the second round after the first round finished three all.
Mbongo who took the game to penalties turned out to be the causer of their defeat too when Eric Kwekeu saved his penalty shoot.
Of course, Bamboutos were glad to make history. Midfielder Betchem Egbo described how difficult the game was. “Anyway all is well that finish well. We have perpetuated the tradition which holds that Cameroonian clubs always win the first editions of trophies”, Betchem said.
