FC Saint-Éloi Lupopo beat Butras 2-0 in Linafoot, the Congolese first division championship. Djo Issama Mpeko was sent off after receiving two consecutive cautions, first for a foul on Alain Mukeya and then for protesting, leaving the Customs Officers with ten men, Lepotentiel reports.
Glody Mambembe opened the scoring just before half-time after a scramble. Fofana Yacouba then doubled Lupopo’s lead in the 47th minute with a header from an Âgée Basiala cross. Butras tried to get back into the game, notably with a free kick by Disengomoka Pangi that was saved by goalkeeper Gaston Ndoki, and through Kaswa Mbengele’s efforts, but could not reduce the deficit.
