It was a sun-drenched afternoon at the Bonamoussadi Stadium in Douala, but for Real Academy, the heat came strictly from the clinical attack of Atlantic Sports Academy.
In a dominant MTN Elite Two styled display, the visitors from Kribi secured a commanding 3#0 victory during a pre-season friendly, proving why they remain one of the league’s most tactical outfits.
The Betossi Show
The headline of the day belonged to Atlantic’s talisman, Maxime Betossi. The captain led from the front, netting a brilliant brace that effectively took the wind out of Real Academy’s sails.
The Opener: Betossi found the breakthrough early in the second half from the penalty spot.
The Cushion: He doubled his tally shortly after, showing predatory instincts in the box to capitalize on a defensive lapse.
Yusuf Puts the Game to Bed
While Betossi provided the spark, Yusuf provided the final blow. With Real Academy pushing forward in a desperate attempt to salvage a point, Yusuf exploited the space left behind. His goal, a clinical finish following a rapid counter-attack, sealed the 3#0 result and sent the traveling Atlantic fans into a frenzy.
Atlantic SA leaves Douala with all three points and a massive boost to their promotion ambitions, while Real Academy returns to the drawing board to address a defense that struggled to contain Atlantic’s dynamic duo.
