Coming off a disappointing 2-0 loss to Kadiogo, FC Rahimo entered Saturday’s clash determined to restore confidence.
The decisive moment came in the 28th minute when Aboubacar Camara found the back of the net, delivering the three points and reigniting the team’s title aspirations.
The match was characterized by its competitive edge and numerous disciplinary incidents. Both sides received three yellow cards, underscoring the physical nature of the contest.
Etoile Filante’s task became even more challenging when Hamed Ouattara was shown a red card in the 75th minute, leaving them with 10 players for the final stretch.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Etoile Filante fought valiantly but failed to break through Rahimo’s defense.
The home side held firm to secure a vital win that keeps them in contention for the championship.
With this result, FC Rahimo climbs to the summit of the league table with 18 points, edging out AS Sonabel and USFA by a single point.
However, both chasing teams remain within striking distance and could reclaim the lead with victories in their upcoming fixtures.
The Burkinabe Ligue 1 continues to live up to its reputation for unpredictability and fierce competition.
Each game carries significant weight as clubs vie for supremacy in one of the most tightly contested seasons in recent years.
As the campaign progresses, FC Rahimo’s ability to maintain consistency will be crucial in their bid for the title.
Meanwhile, their rivals, including AS Sonabel and USFA, will be equally motivated to capitalize on any slip-ups.
With plenty of matches still to play, the race for the Burkinabe Ligue 1 crown promises to deliver drama and excitement until the very end.
FC Rahimo’s victory over Etoile Filante may have temporarily restored their confidence, but the journey to ultimate glory remains far from over.
