United Académie Secure 2-0 Victory Over UCT At Thies

United Académie welcomed UCT to Thies on 2 January 2026 for a league home match that kicked off at 1:55pm. Over the course of 90 minutes plus injury time, United Académie emerged with a 2-0 win, maintaining a clean sheet and securing valuable points in the league campaign.

United Académie deployed a classic 4-3-3 formation for this encounter. Abdoulaye Gueye took his place in goal, providing the last line of defence. The back four consisted of Babacar Cissé at right back, Taly Dia and Thierno Sow as the central defensive pairing, and Momar Diop on the left flank. In midfield, Mansour Cissé occupied the central role, flanked by Osvaldo Preira on the right and Souleymane Ndiaye on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supporting the attack. Up front, the attacking trio featured Massar Diop on the right wing, Mourana Camara leading the line as striker, and Maguette Alioune Dièl on the left wing. This setup was expected to provide balance between defensive solidity and offensive threat. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The first half unfolded with United Académie asserting control through their midfield trio, with Mansour Cissé orchestrating play and linking effectively with the wide midfielders. The full-backs, Babacar Cissé and Momar Diop, maintained their defensive responsibilities while offering width when possible. United Académie’s forwards sought to exploit spaces behind UCT’s defence, with Mourana Camara often dropping deep to create opportunities.

Despite sustained pressure and several promising attacks, the first 45 minutes concluded without any goals, as both sides struggled to break the deadlock. United Académie’s defensive unit, marshalled by Taly Dia and Thierno Sow, remained disciplined and thwarted UCT’s attempts to penetrate centrally. Abdoulaye Gueye was called upon only sparingly, reflecting the home side’s dominance in possession and territory.

The second half saw United Académie increase their tempo and intensity, which eventually paid dividends. The attacking trio combined well, with Maguette Alioune Dièl and Massar Diop stretching the UCT defence and creating openings for Mourana Camara. The breakthrough came as United Académie capitalised on a well-worked move, demonstrating their clinical edge in front of goal.

Throughout the remainder of the match, United Académie maintained their composure and defensive organisation, preventing UCT from mounting any significant comeback. The midfield trio continued to control the rhythm of the game, while the back four remained resolute. Abdoulaye Gueye’s clean sheet was a testament to the team’s collective defensive effort.

In the closing stages, United Académie sealed their victory with a second goal, confirming their superiority on the day and securing all three points. The final whistle brought celebrations for the home side, who had executed their game plan effectively and earned a deserved 2-0 win over UCT.
