Royal Vision secured a 2-1 victory over Flambeau du Centre in the Ligue A regular season on Friday evening. The hosts moved clear at the top of the table after the third round of matches. It was a game decided by moments rather than sustained dominance. And here's the thing — you can see the pattern in how these teams have been running out of games lately.
Royal Vision took the lead through a goal at the 29-minute mark. Flambeau responded quickly, finding the net just two minutes later in the 31st. The visitors should have done better to hold on after that equaliser. By then the momentum had shifted back towards the home side.
The decisive moment came at 44 minutes when Royal Vision struck again. Three yellow cards were shown after that — at 40, 58 and 65 minutes. The game opened up a little as the visitors pushed for an equaliser. One mistake ends it, and Flambeau couldn't quite find the rhythm they needed.
Royal Vision now sit top of the Ligue A with seven points from three matches. They have won twice and drawn once, remaining unbeaten. Flambeau remain rooted to 11th place with only two points from their three outings. The hosts were dominant in the air from set plays, something that showed through in those late yellow cards.
The recent form tells its own story. Royal Vision have been hard to break down — a 0-0 draw, a 2-1 win, a 0-1 loss, then back-to-back victories. Flambeau have struggled for goals, with two draws and a loss in their last three outings. They gave away too many cheap fouls when the pressure came.
This result extends Royal Vision's unbeaten run to three matches. Flambeau's winless streak continues, and the gap between them at the top and bottom of the table is becoming impossible to bridge. The scoreline reflects where both teams stand more than anything else.
