The 11th matchday of the Cameroonian championship delivered its first verdicts this Sunday, March 22, 2026, with five matches played. Coton Sport have temporarily reclaimed the top spot in the standings, while Colombe Sportive enjoyed a dominant home performance.

Travelling to Bandjoun, Coton Sport de Garoua rose to the occasion, securing a commanding 2-0 victory over Panthère Sportive du Ndé. The Cotton Makers made the difference through Mahamadou Tanko and Roger Emga, underlining their solidity and clinical edge. It was a logical win against a struggling Ndé side, especially after their recent loss to Victoria United.

With this victory, Coton Sport temporarily seize the league lead and pile the pressure on Unisport, who are set to play away to Aigle Royal du Moungo on Monday.

Colombe Sportive awaken and humiliate Victoria United

The other headline clash of the day turned into a one-sided affair. Colombe Sportive du Sud crushed Victoria United 4-1 at the military stadium in Ngoa-Ekellé.

Propelled by red-hot forwards, the reigning champions made a statement. Both Eyango Priso and Brice Sindjo bagged a brace apiece.

Completely outclassed, Victoria United collapsed despite a late consolation goal from Gilfranck Peto. This heavy defeat brings the Limbe club's push for the podium to a sudden halt.

For Colombe, the win ends a three-game winless streak and breathes new life into their season.

Stade Renard's stunning resurgence

Undoubtedly the shock of the day. Bottom of the table before kickoff, Stade Renard clinched their first win of the season by routing Gazelle FA 4-1.

Thorgan Essiane, who netted a hat-trick, was the architect of this triumph, ably supported by Ngae. On the other side, Gazelle—who started the day on the podium—were simply overwhelmed. This result reignites the relegation battle and proves there is still everything to play for in this league.

Dynamo and PWD get the job done, Fauve Azur stalled

In the other fixtures: Dynamo de Douala edged past Fauve Azur (1-0) thanks to Jules Armand Kouoh. It’s a precious win that confirms Bon Ba Djob’s solidity this season. PWD of Bamenda snatched an important 2-1 victory over Aigle de la Menoua. Aliyu Yaya and Talikong Elwood, who struck a decisive late goal, delivered the three points to the Abakwa Boys.
