NSL (Week 2): The Champion’s brutal wake-up call

After a shocking defeat on the opening day against ASVP, reigning champions Cercle de Joachim have straightened their act — and in spectacular fashion. PAS Mates were left to bear the brunt, suffering a crushing 8–1 defeat.

The Curepipians made short work of their opponents, sending a clear message to the league: the champions are back, and they won’t hold anything back. Champions never die!

Meanwhile, La Cure Waves and Petite-Rivière-Noire FC continue their flawless starts. Both sides have secured their second consecutive victories and now sit firmly atop the early-season standings, setting a relentless pace from the very start.

The team of Résidence La Cure flexed its offensive muscle with a 6–1 demolition of USBBRH, while the Western club took control against ASRR with a 3–1 win. These performances signal that neither team intends to relinquish their position without a fight.

Pamplemousses SC, for their part, remains in ambush. They must replay their match against ASVP, abandoned due to heavy rain while they were already leading 4–0. This rescheduled game could shake up the standings and prove crucial in the battle for the top spot. Every point counts, and nothing can be taken for granted in this already intense championship.

Meanwhile, ASPL 2000 finally opened their points account with a 1–0 win over Chebel Citizens, proving that the outsiders are ready to challenge the leaders and that the fight for the top positions will be fierce.

This weekend, packed with surprises and decisive results, confirms that the championship is off to a flying start. Between the dramatic resurgence of the champions, unbeaten leaders setting the pace, and ambitious challengers showing their teeth, the spectacle is already in full swing. Every match-day has the potential to shake up the table and create new storylines.
