Real du Faso ended a winless run with a 3-1 victory over Salitas in the third round of League 1, played on 2 October at the Salitas stadium. Both sides entered the match with identical records — two games, one draw, one defeat, and a single point each — but only one would emerge with their first victory of the season. The visitors took control early and never looked back, with goals from I. Sore, G. Cherif, and N. Congo, plus a late strike in stoppage time.
Sore opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, giving Salitas a moment of pride just before half-time. But Real du Faso responded immediately after the break. Cherif found the net in the 50th minute and the visitors began to settle into a rhythm that the hosts struggled to disrupt. By then, the match was slipping away from the home side, though they continued to push forward.
Congo doubled the advantage in the 79th minute, and the game opened up. Salitas pressed for a response, but Real du Faso's defence held firm. The visitors added a fourth goal in the 90th minute plus five, ending a barren spell for their attack and sealing the result. The draw brought them together early in the season, but this time the gap widened.
Standing tall in the 11th position, Real du Faso now have something to build on. Salitas remain rooted in 14th place, still searching for their first victory. The result means the visitors have opened talks with hope for the next fixture, while the hosts have nothing to lose and everything to play for.
