After winning the Madagascar championship in September, Cosfa will face Uscar in the final of the Madagascar Cup. Uscar is looking for revenge this Sunday.
A rematch that promises sparks. Cosfa and Uscar will meet this Sunday at the Makis stadium in Andohatapenaka for the final battle of the Madagascar Rugby Cup. A duel between two teams that know each other perfectly, and whose last confrontation in the national championship final, narrowly won by the military team (26-25) in September, remains in everyone’s memory. This time, the stakes are just as high: Cosfa wants to confirm its supremacy, while Uscar dreams of overturning the hierarchy.
The one-point defeat is still on their minds. While Cosfa celebrated its national title, Uscar remained frustrated by the one-point loss. A tiny margin that gives a special flavor to this new confrontation. More than just a final, this meeting represents an opportunity for Uscar to correct the September result and demonstrate that it can compete with the military team until the end.
To reach this goal, Uscar had to fight in the semi-final against TFMA. At the end of a particularly tight match, they won with a score of 45-44, thus securing their ticket to the final. A success that testifies to their fighting spirit and ability to hold up under pressure. Qualities they will need to mobilize again to hope to bring down Cosfa.
But the task promises to be arduous. In the semi-final, Cosfa displayed impressive offensive power by crushing TFA Anatihazo with a score of 91-29. The men of Noé Mboazafy Rakotoarivelo, alias coach Razily, confirmed their ambition to achieve the double after their championship title. Facing this offensive machine, Uscar will have to be solid in defense, disciplined, and efficient in its attacking phases.
The key will be not to let the military team impose their rhythm. Unlike their wide victory in the semi-final, the champions could find themselves facing a team determined to stand up to them until the final whistle. Uscar will also have to take advantage of every opportunity and avoid the errors that weighed heavily in the previous final.
For the Uscar rugby players, the stakes are twofold: win the Madagascar Cup and erase the memory of that frustrating defeat. For Cosfa, it will be a matter of confirming its supremacy and completing an already successful season. “We have only one goal, to win Sunday’s final for a historic double. It won’t be easy, but we are confident in our strength,” says coach Razily. “This will be an opportunity for us to write a new history. We are ready to overthrow Cosfa,” says Anthony Razafindratsimba, captain of Uscar.
