The highly anticipated MTN Elite One clash between Dynamo de Douala and Union Douala was a tightly contested affair with Dynamo coming out narrowly victorious by a 1-0 margin. While the match ended with only one goal, it was the defensive acumen and discipline of Dynamo de Douala that stood out. Despite a flurry of yellow cards that could have easily upset their rhythm, the home team's ability to defend their narrow lead was impressive, particularly after going ahead early in the second half at the 70:41 mark.

Union Douala, although creating more corner opportunities with six to Dynamo's two, failed to capitalize on these set-pieces. The difference in their execution of strategic opportunities reflected their inability to break through Dynamo's compact defensive lines. Uncharacteristically for an elite match, the away team had a higher level of discipline, remaining without a yellow card despite their constant pressure, but their downfall was the red card they received, handicapping their chances of mounting a comeback.

The significance of these disciplinary discrepancies was compounded by Dynamo's resilience, even when faced with the threat of conceding due to their aggressive defense. While Dynamo found themselves caught offside four times, they exhibited an outstanding situational awareness that Union lacked, reflected in Union's solitary offside occurrence. Both teams pushed for advantage, yet it was the defensive strategy and quick adaptation of Dynamo de Douala to key pressure moments which underscored their ability to eke out a win in a fierce local derby.
