They trounced bottom placed Cosmos 5-0 on the 22nd day of play over the weekend to move up to the third position on the table.

In accordance with the declaration of the manager of the club recently that the club hasn’t got a problem, Coton Sport walloped bottom-placed Cosmos of Mbam 5-0 on the 22nd day of play over the weekend to prove that they are not a spent force.

The victory propelled Coton Sport from the fourth to the third position and puts them in direct contention for the championship title with barely four points behind the league leaders, UMS of Loum.

Coton sport’s performance has been on a steady increase since the return leg of the championship gradually moving from the middle of the table to join the top trio and may well be on track to re-conquer the championship title which eluded them last year.

Meanwhile the league leaders, UMS managed to hang on the first position despite having recorded two successive draws during the last two days of play.

As fate would have it, the runners up, Yong Sport also recorded a draw to maintain the three-point gap separating them from the leaders.

UMS clings on the first position with 42 points, followed by Yong Sports in the second position with 39 points and Coton Sports occupies the third position with 38 points.

Union on the contrary dropped from the third to the fourth position owing to the 1-1 draw against New Stars in the maiden nocturnal match at the Limbe Omnisport stadium.

The situation at the bottom of the table has changed also with Lion Blessé hoping out of the relegation zone thanks to their 2-1 victory over Racing Bafoussam on Sunday.

They bequeath their place in the danger zone to Dragon of Yaounde who pulled a 2-2 draw against Astres.

The one-nil victory obtained against Eding was not enough to enable Botafogo leap out of the red zone and still maintain the last but one position on the point tally sheet.

After a promising start in the lower leagues, Cosmos of Mbam has become ridiculous as they can be rightfully described as the point distributors of the championship. They sank further down the drain conceding their 13th defeat of the season when they were beaten 5-1 by Coton sport on Sunday.

It can be said that the die is cast for Cosmos as it would take a miracle for them to salvage their season and survive in the League One championship.
