Casa Sports’ struggles continued on Monday as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Ajel de Rufisque, edging perilously close to the Ligue 1 relegation zone following a fourth consecutive match without victory.
The Ziguinchor-based club, which narrowly avoided relegation last season, once again finds itself in a precarious position.
Monday’s loss leaves Casa Sports just a single point above the drop zone, intensifying pressure as the season nears its climax.
Facing Ajel de Rufisque away, Casa Sports were unable to find any rhythm or breakthrough.
A solitary goal proved enough for Rufisque, who, with this victory, ended their own two-match winless run and climbed to fourth place in the standings.
While the win reignited Rufisque’s hopes for a strong finish, it only deepened Casa Sports’ crisis.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, AS Pikine continued their impressive resurgence.
The suburban club secured a third consecutive victory with a composed 2-0 win over bottom side Jamono Fatick.
Goals from Mbaye Ly and Omar Hanne ensured a vital three points, lifting AS Pikine further clear of the relegation battle.
The momentum now firmly sits with AS Pikine, whose seventh win of the season has propelled them comfortably into mid-table safety.
In stark contrast, Jamono Fatick’s struggles persist as they remain rooted to the bottom of the league, with their survival hopes fading fast.
For Casa Sports, the latest defeat underscores the urgency for immediate change.
Despite flashes of potential earlier in the campaign, a lack of consistency and cutting edge has left them vulnerable once again.
The team’s current form mirrors the difficulties they faced last season and raises concerns over their ability to secure safety without a drastic turnaround.
As the league approaches its final stretch, Casa Sports must find answers quickly if they are to avoid another tense fight against relegation.
Their remaining fixtures will be crucial, not only for survival but also for restoring pride to a club with rich history and expectations.
In contrast, Ajel de Rufisque will take confidence from their return to winning ways, while AS Pikine’s late-season surge offers a reminder of how swiftly fortunes can change in a tightly contested Ligue 1 campaign.
