In a pivotal meeting for the two formations in search of recovery, the linguère de Saint-Louis signed a short but precious victory (1-0) against the outgoing teangueth FC champion, this Sunday April 13, 2025, at the municipal stadium of Kébémer, on behalf of the 19th day of Ligue 1 Senegalese.
Before kick -off, the two teams were struggling at the bottom of the ranking. La Linguère (9th, 23 pts -1) sought to confirm, while Teungueth FC (12th, 20 pts) was aiming for a start -up end of the season.
From the start, the commitment is total. The Rufisquois are enterprising with a first alert signed Ousmane Camara, whose crossed shot borders on the cages of Pape Abdoulaye Dieng in the 8th minute. In difficulty against the wind, the Saint-Louisians fall back, opting for a compact defense around Captain Mamadou Diop.
Despite several incursions on both sides, no team finds the fault in a first act marked by the intensity but poor in frank occasions.
The linguère accelerates and makes the difference
Upon returning from the locker room, the linguère increases the pace. By dominating possession, she installs her game in the Teungueth FC camp, but struggles to materialize, embarrassed by the height and the defensive rigor of visitors. In the 59th minute, Adama Diouf believes to open the scoring but sees his shot stopped brilliantly by Boubacar Nguer, vigilant on his line.
While Teungueth FC is trying to project itself in vain, the linguère ends up blowing up the lock in the 83rd minute: El Hadji Boubacar Fall, with a limpid strike that ricoche on the left post, finds the little net to offer the only goal of the match (1-0).
With this fifth victory of the season, the samba-linguère stabilize in the middle of the table, climbing in 9th place, and available a breath of oxygen before the reception of Casa Sports during the 20th day.
For its part, Teungueth FC, in great difficulty, remains stuck in 12th position, just three points from the red zone, and will imperatively have to react in the Rufisque derby against the Ajel, under penalty of compromising its maintenance ambitions.
