Great Football return match: the MINFOPRA's ladies vs the MINEPIA's ladies

The second friendly meeting of women's football between the Greats Ladies of the Ministry of Public Service and Administrative Reform and the ladies of the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries ended in victory 2 against 1 for MINFOPRA on MINEPIA.

As part of the constitutive  activities marking the 137th  edition of the International  Labour day celebration at the Ministry of the Public Service and Administrative Reform, a successful return leg football match took place this 27th April 2023 at the Yaoundé  military stadium.
At the beginning of the first half of the 60 minutes match, the first goal came in from a great lady of MINFOPRA. Pushed by their counterparts, MINEPIA's ladies tried to equalize towards the end of the first half in a penalty shoot out  but they were unfortunately unsuccessful in this attempt. Not giving up but pressing to get an equalizer, the moment finally came during the second half of the match and the amazons of  MINEPIA scored a first goal. The victory was however short lived because, the great ladies of MINFOPRA seized control of the ball again and sent in another goal in the MINEPIA net.
This determinant goal, eventually gave them the upper hand over  the match and they emerged victorious with a total of 2 goals to 1.
It is worth noting that for the occasion of this 137th edition of the International Labour Day organized under the theme “resilience and decent work: working together in the world of work for the improvement of living conditions and social inclusion”, the Minister of the Public Service, and Administrative reform, Joseph LE and the Minister  of livestock, fisheries and animal industries, Dr TAIGA gave the kick off to start the game as a sign of collaboration and synergy between the two ministries.
Also this return leg game was organized following a previous match between the two teams last march 2023 during the weeklong activities marking the celebration of the International Women’s Day.
It will seem that after losing the  last match, the great ladies of MINFOPRA went home and learnt new tactics to up their game and this was evident as they  beat the amazons of MINEPIA in this return leg and went home with the cup and other gifts.
