RCK and Vitesse played out a 2:2 draw in the opening round of Ligue 1 on Sunday evening. Both sides entered the fixture having not yet registered a result, and the point each team took was a fair reflection of an even contest.
RCK took the lead through R. Kinda in the forty-third minute, a goal that came against the run of play in the first half. Vitesse responded well, and H. S. Dah equalised just after the hour mark in the sixty-eighth minute. The visitors then found a second goal in the seventieth, though the scorer was not recorded.
RCK refused to let the match slip away. A. Gorou struck a late equaliser in the ninety-ninth minute, sending the crowd into a frenzy and ensuring neither side left empty-handed. The finish was dramatic, but neither team was unlucky.
Both clubs remain on zero points after one game, sitting seventh and eleventh respectively in the standings. The table tells you nothing yet — this was simply the opening chapter.
It was a result that could have gone either way, and that is perhaps the only certainty at this stage of the season. Both teams will be looking for more from their next outing.
