The atmosphere was electric during the first leg of Match Day Three of the Youzou Elite Basketball Championship in the Men’s Category at the Gymnasium of “College de la Salle” in Douala this weekend, January 24th 2026 but by the final whistle, only one team was left celebrating.

In a clash of intensity and execution, ALPH Yaounde delivered a statement victory, dismantling Moungo Zone with a decisive 70#46 scoreline.

A Tale of Two Halves
From the opening tip-off, ALPH Yaounde looked like a team on a mission. They utilized a suffocating full-court press that left Moungo Zone struggling to find a rhythm. While Moungo Zone showed flashes of brilliance in the paint, they couldn’t withstand the clinical perimeter shooting and fast-break transitions led by the ALPH backcourt.

Turning the Tide
Moungo Zone attempted a spirited comeback in the third quarter, tightening their defense and cutting the deficit briefly. However, ALPH Yaounde’s depth proved too much. A late 12–2 run in the final period extinguished any hope, as ALPH Yaounde’s bench players stepped up to maintain the high-octane pace.

The victory cements ALPH Yaounde’s reputation as a powerhouse in the capital, while Moungo Zone will look to regroup and find more offensive consistency before their next outing.
