CS Rova Mpanjaka MD 13 recap + MD 14 preview - DarkViper2 - 2026-10-12
The penultimate match for CS Rova Mpanjaka and it's a big one as they are playing the 3rd place team in the table. With Kaapstad beating Montréal United in the 2nd match, RMP needs to win in order to secure a spot in minors division 1 for season 28. In other words this is a huge match for RMP and it's going to be a close one
Formations
CS Rova Mpanjaka: 4-2-3-1
Krung Thep FC: 4-2-3-1
Both teams have shown the same form going 2-2-1 in their last 5 matches and both teams are coming into this one after losing their last match. This should be a fun match
1st Half
KTH kicked off to start the match, RMP stole it away, and the highlight ends. You see why I don't cover what happens after the kickoff?
Skipping ahead to the 4th minute and Aren fjord has possession of the ball. Working the ball around the back line, Justin Fern finds Puma Superhoops and he starts pushing the ball up the right side. He tries to get a cross in and JG Wentworth blocks it. He is able to collect it but does a bit too much dribbling and Hanibal Armaros kicks it out for a RMP corner. Thomas Schwarte plays it to Joe Martin and he does a 1 touch pass to Scott Newman. Newman lets a 1 touch shot rip from distance, while he did miss he forced Turd Ferguson to make the save. The ball is deflected of the crossbar for another RMP corner. Superhoops aims for the near post and the highlight abruptly ends
Skipping ahead and it's close to the 12th minute with RMP set to restart play with a throw in. The team works the ball around and Matt Oopsie Wrongsort Turk either attempts a shot or cross, it's hard to tell because of the angle from where he's kicking the ball. Either way the ball goes out of play for a KTH goal kick
Quick jump to the 13th minute and RMp has a throw in from about the same spot as the last highlight. Schwarte plays a 2 man game with Turk and Schwarte gets a low cross to the near post. Jack Pow takes crack at goal and Ferguson makes another save. Two great opportunities for RMP to get the early lead and both time Ferguson denies them. Superhoops tracks the rebound down and tires to get another cross in and Billy Elliot deflects it out for a corner. Schwarte goes for the near post and the ball gets deflected around. Turk collects it and dribbles it to the left side. He aims a cross for the far post and Ferguson snatches the ball out of the air
Big skip as the next highlight is in the 23rd minute and RMP has a direct free kick. Newman plays it to Turk and he passes it to Pow. He takes a crack at goal and forces Ferguson to make another save as he parries the ball out for a RMP corner. Superhoops aims for the near post and the ball is defected to Martin. He passes to Superhoops and the flags go up as he was in an offside position
Now in the 28th minute and RMP has another throw in to restart play. RMP works the ball around and Pow finds Superhoops on a short cross. He takes a shot at goal with a 1 touch shot and he completely missed as the ball goes out for a goal kick. So far it's been RMP dominate highlights
Skipping to the 39th minute and KTH has a corner kick. Stephan Lichsteiner aims for the near post. Larv Itar is able to get his head to the ball, but his shot goes over the crossbar for a goal kick. The skip is barely noticeable so there's no need for another paragraph. Ahmad Ampharos plays to to Fern who just clears it out of danger. Matt Stro collects the clearance and plays it back to Bérangère-Amandine Bruère-Estrangin to restart the attack. KTH works the ball along the back line and Itar finds Wentworth, He pushes the ball up the pitch and finds Weston McNuggie who timed his run perfectly to get by RMP's back 4. He tracks a crack at goal and pushes it wide to the right for a goal kick
Skipping to the 45th minute and RMP has a corner kick. Also the 4th referee has signaled that there will be 1 minute of stoppage time. Superhoops aims for the near post and Stro is there to deflect it away. Fern tracks down the loss ball and RMP works the ball around to Turk. He attempts a 1 touch shot on goal, but his shot goes over the cross bar for a goal kick
KTH is lucky that this is a 0-0 game at halftime. RMP should have at least 1 goal on the board and that's reflected in the xG with RM having .96 and KTH having .41. Also the first half was dominated by RMP highlights as there were only 2 that featured KTH in some sort of attack
2nd half
RMP kicks off to start the half and for once something happened as Pow dribbles the ball up the left side for an attack, but Stro does a slide tackle to knock the ball away and the highlight ends
Bit of a break in the action at the 52nd minute as Puma Superoops has to leave the game because of an injury and the SUPERSUB bot is coming in as a replacement. He'll be back in time for the final match of the season against AS Paris
Huge skip to the 64th minute for the next highlight and KTH as a throw in to restart play. Lichsteiner and Stro play a 2 man game and Lichsteiner aims a cross to the far post. SUBERSUB clears it and Wentworth tracks the ball down. KTH works the ball around to Aleksandr Skovgarrd and he takes a shot from distance. He beat AMpharos but his shot hit the post and Lichsteiner gathers the rebound. KT works the ball around and Stro tries to find McMuggie, but Fern knocks it away to Martin and he clears it out of danger. KTH looks to reset for another attack but Martin tackles the ball from Wentworth and Otto Rocket finds Hans Grudnar near the center circle and RMP looks to start a counter. It happens fast as SUPERSUB pushes the ball to Rocket and he gets a cross to Grudnar. He buries the point blank range shot into the back of the net to give RMP a 1-0 lead. Newman did a good job of stopping his run short as he was offsides and Grudnar had the perfect run to stay onside so the goal counts
Skipping to the 77th minute now and RMP as a throw in. RMP is working the ball along the back looking for an attack opportunity. Eventually they work the ball back to Ampharos and he passes it deep to Schwarte. He dribbles the ball up the left side and tries to get a cross into the box. It looks like he was trying to find Newman who was matching his pace. Itar intercepts the pass and gets the ball to Mc Nuggie and KTH starts a counter. While he was able to dribble the ball up the right side, RMP does a great job of cutting him off and he's forced to pass the ball back to Skovgaad. KTH works the ball to Hanibal Armaors and he tracks a 1 touch shot with his perfred left foot from distance. Ampharos is able to get his hand on the ball and push it wide for a corner. Lichsteiner finds Stro on the near post and Stro is able to use his head. The header is on target and Ampharos parries the ball over the crossbar for another corner. RMP tries to clear Lichstteiner's corner but fail as the ball finds its way to Elliot. He gets a cross to Skovgaard and on the half volley goes for goal. His shot misses to the left for a goal kick
Jumping to the 90+4 minute and this will be the final highlight of the game because there's 3 minutes if stoppage time. RMP has a throw in and as soon as SUPERSUB throws it in the referee signals the end of the match
0 vs. 
1Huge win for CS Rova as this keeps them in division 1 for s28 and it opens the door for RMP to finish 3rd in the table
MD 14 is going to be huge for the minors. North Shore United has a chance to avoid auto relegation; all they have to do is beat Krung Thep FC and NSU is in the promotion playoff and Montréal United will be auto relegated. If they draw or lose, then they will be auto relegated and MTL will be in the promotion playoffs. Over in division 2 it's a battle between Cairo and Inter London for the auto promotion spot. For Cairo it's simple; beat SD Guayaquil and you're auto promoted. If it's a draw then Inter can win but they cant win by more than 9 goals, but there's no chance the Inter can win by 9 goals. For Inter London, they have to beat AF Maaques Scarés to have a chance at winning the division and getting the auto promotion spot. Any other result for London and they're in the promotion playoffs
Looking at the schedule, Inter London plays before Cairo so Cario would know what they need to do to win the D2 championship
