In the MTN Elite One clash between Coton Sport and Gazelle de Garoua, both teams demonstrated contrasting styles, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Gazelle de Garoua capitalized on an early opportunity in the second half, breaking the deadlock in the 71st minute with a well-executed effort. Coton Sport's response was swift, equalizing just under four minutes later, showcasing their resilient spirit and ability to regain control quickly under pressure.

Coton Sport displayed superior discipline and control throughout the match, as evident from their lower foul count of one compared to Gazelle's four. This disciplined approach helped them maintain composure and protect themselves from disciplinary actions—limits which the visiting team breached twice, leading to two yellow cards. The visiting team’s second yellow could have proven costly, but they managed to organize defensively to avoid further consequences.

Set-pieces were pivotal, with Coton Sport significantly outmatching their opponents in corner kicks by 6 to 3. This provided additional scoring opportunities and maintained offensive pressure on Gazelle's defense. Although Coton Sport didn’t convert these set-pieces into goals, the consistent threat and tactical use of corners demonstrated their attacking prowess and tactical planning. Gazelle’s defense, however, should be credited for their ability to mitigate threats from these set-pieces, indirectly impacting the outcome by keeping the scoreline level.
