MTN Elite One: PWD Bamenda winless in six successive matches!.

The encounter played at the MTN Arena in Mbouda Sunday ended on a 1-1 score. 

The visitors took the lead just upon resumption of the second half, through Jean Pierrot Bikatal after a goalless first half but the Abakwa Boys responded almost immediately.

Ndiforchu Blaise got the equaliser for the Bamenda-based club on 48 minutes. It was his fourth goal of the season.

The scoreline remained unchanged till the end of 90 minutes, maintaining the club of President Pascal Abunde in the relegation zone.

Some supporters of the club who watched the match in Mbouda Sunday, voiced their frustration, verbally attacking players and officials.

According to them the current run of results doesn’t give a good image to the club, which is at risk of being relegated if something isn’t done to salvage the situation.

Overall, PWD have managed to secure just five points in their last six matches, after five successive draw games and a defeat.
