La Passe and C么te d鈥橭r draw
C么te d鈥橭r should have taken the lead in this encounter when former La Passe striker Perry Monnaie was handed the chance to open his account for the defending league champions from the penalty spot awarded by referee Kerens Yocette for a foul by Jules Constance on Herve Cesar.
However, Monnaie was denied from the penalty spot by his national team colleague goalkeeper Ian Ah-Kong in the first half for a 0-0 score at the interval.
C么te d鈥橭r though did take the lead in the second half from a strike by their prolific goal scorer, Malagasy Kassah, to make it 1-0 in the 46th minute.
La Passe though were awarded a penalty in the 87th minute when Malagasy Florent was crowded out by three C么te d鈥橭r players which referee Yocette deemed illegal and he pointed to the penalty spot and Florent picked himself up to score the resulting penalty for a 1-1 final scoreline.
