ASFA-Yennenga beat ASFB 2-0 in Ligue 1, Regular Season round 3 on Saturday. The hosts took all three points at home, finishing with two goals and a clean sheet after a match that grew tighter once the visitors lost their man.

H. Kabré broke the deadlock in the eighty-first minute, finishing off a move that had pinning the visitors back since the dismissal. The goal changed everything, even if the scoreline looked comfortable enough before it.
A. Barro added the second in the eighty-seventh minute, and the crowd roared them on as ASFB tried to mount one last effort. The decision was overturned when ASFB appealed for a penalty, and the game settled into a procession.
