In a commanding display, Nima Kings F.C. secured a resounding 4-0 victory over Alhamdu Football Club in their league encounter at Borstal Astro Turf on 7th February 2025. The match kicked off at 9:00 am, with an attendance of 100 spectators witnessing a one-sided affair.
Alhamdu Football Club lined up in a 3-3-3-1 formation, designed to provide a solid defensive base while allowing for attacking flair. Shaibu Mustapha took his position in goal, shielded by a back three comprising Yakubu Issaka in central defence, flanked by Abdul Aziz Osman on the right and Jacob Azumah on the left. The midfield trio featured Ahmed Tareg Abdul Aziz on the right, Shakur Osma in the centre, and Bari Zakari on the left, while Ismail Osman, Solomon Antobam, and Samuel Junior Hudson operated as the attacking midfielders, supporting striker Mensah Godwin.
The substitutes for Alhamdu included Yussif Jabel, Mubarak Awal, Ramadan Tijani, Ugochukwu Victéry Okoroma, and Turfik Abdul Karim, who would later play a role in the match as tactical adjustments were made.
The match began with Nima Kings F.C. asserting their dominance early on. Just six minutes in, they found the back of the net with a close-range effort, leaving Alhamdu's defence scrambling. The early goal set the tone for the match, and Nima Kings continued to press forward.
By the 14th minute, Nima Kings doubled their lead, scoring another goal from inside the box, this time with a precise right-footed shot. Alhamdu struggled to contain their opponents, who were relentless in their pursuit of further goals.
The pressure from Nima Kings paid off again in the 24th minute when they scored a fluke goal from outside the box, catching the Alhamdu defence off guard. This third goal left Alhamdu reeling as they headed into half-time with a daunting 3-0 deficit.
As the second half commenced, Alhamdu made tactical substitutions, bringing on Yussif Jabel for Jacob Azumah and Mubarak Awal for Bari Zakari, hoping to inject some fresh energy into their performance. However, Nima Kings continued their onslaught, scoring their fourth goal in the 59th minute with another close-range effort, further solidifying their control of the match.
Alhamdu made additional changes in the 63rd minute, substituting Yakubu Issaka for Ramadan Tijani, as they sought to shore up their defence. Later, in the 78th minute, Ugochukwu Victéry Okoroma replaced Mensah Godwin, while Turfik Abdul Karim came on for Samuel Junior Hudson, who had to leave the pitch due to injury.
Despite these changes, Alhamdu could not find a way back into the game, and Nima Kings comfortably maintained their lead until the final whistle. The match concluded with a disappointing scoreline for Alhamdu, who will need to regroup and reassess their strategies moving forward in the league.
