Saliatas and ASFB shared the spoils in a Ligue 1 opener that ended 2:2 on Sunday. The match took place at the home ground of Saliatas on 20 September 2026. G. C. Sereme scored twice for the hosts before ASFB fought back late to salvage a point.
Sereme opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a finish that caught the defence off guard. He added another in the 74th minute, extending his side's lead to 2:0. To be fair, the visitors looked shattered after that second strike.
Then came the shift. An 85th-minute goal brought ASFB back into contention. The visitors found a second wind.
The equaliser arrived four minutes later, with another late strike completing the turnaround. And here's the thing — neither goal was scored by Sereme, who had dominated the first half. By then, momentum had swung completely. The visitors refused to go away despite being two goals down. Three minutes of stoppage time felt like an eternity for the hosts.
Both teams now sit on one point each after this opening round. The standings show no change — ninth place for Saliatas, eighth for ASFB. With zero games recorded before this, the table remains fluid.
The result echoes a previous meeting in May when Saliatas edged ASFB 3:2. This time the visitors held their nerve in the dying moments. A draw sets up a competitive season ahead.
