Five-Goal Masterclass at the Proximity Stadium
As an Editor keeping a sharp eye on tactical adaptations ahead of the MTN Élite One seasonal resumption, reviewing high-intensity friendly fixtures always provides the ultimate baseline for what to expect. PWD de Bamenda delivered an absolute offensive clinic, securing a commanding 5–2 victory over Achico FA. The action-packed encounter unfolded at the Bamenda I Proximity Stadium, serving as a crucial laboratory for the squad to sharpen their attacking variations.
Ruthless Efficiency in Front of Goal
The Abakwa Boys wasted zero time establishing control, dismantling their opponents through a perfectly synchronized multi-front offensive display:
- ⚽ Joseph Loïc Olinga (4′): The newly signed midfield recruit from Bafmeng United made an immediate impact, opening his club account [just four minutes into the match].
- ⚽ Talla Ulrich (28′): Struck back with a well-timed finish to momentarily haul Achico FA back into the tie at 1–1.
- ⚽ Mah Moussa (45+1′): Restored the lead in first-half stoppage time, breaking away to slide home a vital structural cushion.
- ⚽ Bongaman (64′): Extended the lead past the hour mark with a clinical close-range finish.
- ⚽ Borgard (67′): Stepped up to freeze the keeper from the penalty spot to make it four.
- ⚽ Ekene Calistus (90′): Capped off the dominant performance by hammering home a fifth goal in the dying seconds of regular time.
Editorial Perspective: Midfield Rebirth Underway
From my desk, this scoreline is a massive statement of intent for the upcoming domestic campaign. PWD Bamenda’s recruitment department faced intense criticism after an unstable conclusion to past layouts, forcing them to clean house and look for fresh technical spine elements. Watching a dynamic young arrival like Olinga seamlessly anchor spatial transitions, dictate tempo, and find the back of the net immediately reveals that the structural overhaul is yielding high-signal chemistry.
While pre-season friendly scores should always be read with defensive pragmatism, scoring five goals shows that the tactical staff has successfully addressed past clinical issues. With the league kickoff fast approaching, this high-scoring victory provides the perfect moral booster to ensure the squad is fully prepared to dictate terms when official matches resume.
