A derby cannot be played, it is won. And, the loto-boys got it right. In Grand-Popo this Wednesday 17 November 2021, the LNB club beat Hodio in the act 3 of the shock which now holds all the attention in the department of Mono between the town of Grand-Popo and that of Cômé separated by 24 kilometers around.
The first thrill of the game was given by Mouhoussine Boukari. But his shot will be too crossed. From this moment the derby gets hotter. Contacts and duels are legion. On both benches and even in the stands no respite. No goal until the break.
Back for the 45 last minute, the Loto-boys will eventually find the fault. The local staff continues the replacements. Cosmos David, Faïzou Kpara, Gilbert Adangnandé, Mama Souraka or even Captain Sédjamè make their entrance. The game gets livelier on the sides. 70is minute, Cosmos David misses the opener. Faïzou then manages to frame a header in the 71st minute but Judicaël Agbokou was on his line and pushes the ball away for corners. In this high pressing, corners are played in Rémoise. Rodrigue Fassinou already passer in Savalou makes a cross. Cosmos David takes the ball on the fallout with a sumptuous header and sends the supporters to the angels (72e).
After the opener, Loto-Popo even had the ball from two goals to nil in a face-to-face with Faïzou. But the center forward misses his gesture.
The derby will therefore end with this narrow score to the great dismay of the team from Cômé. The Benin National Lottery club has just completed three outings, three victories on behalf of the new season. The men of the seaside town total 9 points plus a goal differential of 5 goals and dominate Zone B of the Pro League. Lotto-Popo, one for all, all for one!.
