Continuing their attacking momentum, Rodrigues Roche Bon Dieu Saint Etienne Sporting Club crafted a well-worked team move in the 32nd minute. Edouard provided a precise cross from the right flank, which was expertly finished by Jean Jeremi Marinio Castel with his left foot, doubling the visitors’ lead. This goal highlighted the effective interplay between the right attacking midfielder and the right forward, exploiting the wide areas and delivering quality service into the box.

Shortly before half-time, Rodrigues Roche Bon Dieu Saint Etienne Sporting Club were forced into an early change due to injury. Joseph Olivier Prudence was replaced by Nigel Azie at the 45th minute mark, just as the teams headed into the break with a comfortable 2-0 advantage for the visitors.

The second half saw Rodrigues Roche Bon Dieu Saint Etienne Sporting Club continue to press.

Despite Rodrigues Roche Bon Dieu Saint Etienne Sporting Club’s dominance, Ramblers SC managed to pull a goal back deep into injury time at 91 minutes. A long-range strike with the right foot found the net, providing a late consolation but insufficient to alter the outcome.
