In the final match of Pool B of the Senegal Football League 2 held on Wednesday, the outcome was decisive. While Ace Douanes had already secured the only promotion ticket to the top division since the 13th day, the fate of ASSUR from Richard Toll, owned by the wealthy Jean Claude Mimran, and Teungueth FC from Rufisque hung in the balance.
Ironically, the two teams, needing a win to avoid relegation, faced off against each other and settled for a draw (1-1), which was not beneficial for either side.
Meanwhile, ASAC Ndiambour from Louga, led by wrestling promoter Gaston Mbengue, secured their position in the league by defeating Renaissance 3-0. Similarly, Dahra, under threat of relegation, managed to defeat Bargueth 6-2.
The group A matches, scheduled for Friday, will also determine promotion to the elite division, contested by Guédiawaye FC and ETICS of Mboro, as well as relegation, with four teams vying to avoid defeat. This includes US Gorée, led by the president of the Senegalese football federation Me Augustin Senghor, facing Renaissance of Yoff, and CNEPS of Thiés hosting Kawral of Vélingara, a promoted team to Ligue 2.
These matches are crucial, and the teams must be wary of the consequences of defeat.
