On this Saturday, June 15, the Martyrs stadium vibrated to the rhythm of a major sporting event: the final of the Congo Cup 2024 edition, which saw AS VClub and Céleste FC face off. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams competed for the prestigious trophy.
From the kick-off, the Dauphins Noirs team showed their determination to win, but came up against a solid defense from Céleste. Despite their efforts, the Muscovites struggled to create clear chances in the first half. It was finally just before half-time that Jonathan Ikangalombo was able to seize his chance and open the scoring, exploiting a fatal error from the opposing goalkeeper.
Returning from the locker room, AS VClub tried to widen the gap, but failed to find the loophole to score a second goal. For their part, the Céleste players gave everything to get back into the match, but in vain. The final whistle confirmed the victory of AS VClub, which thus won the Congo Cup and validated its African participation for the coming season.
This victory is all the more significant for AS VClub as it will allow them to represent their country on the continental scene. Indeed, the club will accompany FC Saint Éloi in the Confederation Cup, thus offering great prospects for the coming season.
Beyond the sporting feat, this victory rewards the hard work of the AS VClub players and staff, as well as the passion and unwavering support of their supporters. It also testifies to the richness of Congolese football, highlighting the talent and determination of the teams involved in this competition.
