Joan of Arc Treichville suffered the dictates of the Omness
In the first match between the Omness Dabou Joan of Arc Treichville, these are the girls from Dabou who were the strongest. Buoyed by their captain, Estelle Nahi, girls of Omness Dabou were quick to show their intentions. From the onset, the international Nahi Estelle broke into the opposing defense and scores twice  (2-0, 2nd-4th). Before the end of the first half, it's attacker Koko Angel bringing the score to 3-0.

On resumption, Joan of Arc Treichville had nothing left to bother their opponents. Unarmed girls Treichville underwent the dictates of their opponents. Three more goals were scored by Kouassi Nadège penalty spot (4-0, 61st), Estelle Nahi (5-0, 64th) and Koko Angel (6-0, 72nd).

Djidjé Divo, a victim of his lack of experience
This encounter being the second game served as the opening match of the 2012 season. Professor Cyrill Dah, Chairperson of the Commission of Sports Medicine, was alongside the President of the Women's Football Committee, Mrs. Bertha Adou, to kick off the meeting largely won by the girls from Yopougon (13-0).
