Rivière-du-Rempart Edge Vacoas/Phoenix 1-0 in Super League

AS Rivière-du-Rempart claimed a narrow but crucial victory over AS Vacoas/Phoenix on 14 November, winning 1-0 in the second round of the Mauritius Men Super League 2026/27.

The only goal of the match came deep into first-half stoppage time, with Ghunowa finding the net in the third minute of added time at the end of the opening period. That single strike proved enough to send the northern Mauritius club away with the full three points.

C. Fortuno was named Player of the Match for his overall contribution to the game, though it was Ghunowa's clinical finish that made the difference on the day.

The Men Super League is the top tier of club football in Mauritius, organised by the Mauritius Football Association. Teams from across the island compete across the season for the national championship title. AS Rivière-du-Rempart represents the Rivière-du-Rempart district in the north of the island, while AS Vacoas/Phoenix is based in the central highlands region of Vacoas-Phoenix, one of the country's most populous urban areas.

With the win, Rivière-du-Rempart move into a strong early position in the standings after just two matchdays. A tight 1-0 result means their defensive solidity will also be noted as the season progresses.

For Vacoas/Phoenix, the defeat leaves them with ground to make up early in the campaign. The side from the central plateau will be looking to bounce back in the next fixture.

The 2026/27 Super League season is still in its opening stages, and results from these early rounds will begin to shape the picture at both the top and bottom of the table as clubs seek to establish momentum.
