Littoral Regional league side Aigle Royal of Nkongsamba , has defeated Elite one vice champions Eding Sports of the Lekie, to reach the eighth final of the 2022 Cameroon cup.
A brace from Franck Sylvain Poualeu secured an important win for the litoral Regional league side in the 16th final, as they eliminated 2018 winners Eding sports of the Lekie.
Franck Sylvain Poualeu opened scores for Aigle Nkongsamba at the 75th minute, but Eding drew the game level through Harrison Ford Djonkep.
With two minutes of regulation time left to play at the Bonamoussadi stadium, Poualeu again turned in a beautiful pass from Hond Joseph to beat goalkeeper Souleyman Souleyman of Eding, as the Mungo side held tight to secure a place in the last 16.
Founded in 1933, Aigle of Nkongsamba was once a dominant name in Cameroon Football, winning the top flight in 1971. For quite awhile, the team has been in the inferior leagues, but have now resurfaced to beat Eding Sports, who won the league and Cameroon cup in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Bonaventure Djonkep’s side is fresh from finishing second in the just ended campaign, but have now seen their cup journey cut short. Aigle Royal of Nkongsamba are now the only low tier side left in the Cameroon cup.
