The new MTN Elite Two campaign kicked off with pure intensity at the Limbe Centenary Stadium, as seaside contenders Elecsport FC and a disciplined Mintack FC battled to a hard-fought 1#1 stalemate on Matchday One.
From the opening whistle, both sides showcased the physical grit and tactical urgency characteristic of Cameroon’s second tier. Playing under the Atlantic breeze, Elecsport looked to assert their home advantage early, pushing numbers forward and testing Mintack’s backline with direct, high-tempo transitions.
Mintack FC, however, absorbed the initial waves of pressure with composure, operating with a compact mid-block and hitting back through dangerous counter-attacks. The deadlock was broken when a sharp offensive move breached the defense, sparking wild celebrations in the stands, only for the home side to find a swift, determined equalizer before the final whistle.
