Domboshaba Social Club lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, deploying Gosta in goal. The defensive line consisted of Drogba at right back, Zoski and Nofs as central defenders, and Rootsman covering the left back position.

Upfront, Thando was initially paired with Teto as the two forwards. The substitutes named for the match were Lejozi, Godfrey, and Kent.

The 4-4-2 setup was expected to provide a balanced approach, with the full-backs supporting wide play and the central midfielders controlling the tempo. The wide midfielders, Pako and Roy, were tasked with delivering crosses and stretching the opposition, while the forwards aimed to capitalise on scoring opportunities.

Barely five minutes into the match, Domboshaba Social Club made an early tactical substitution, with Kent replacing Thando in the forward line. This swift change suggested a strategic adjustment to sharpen the attack or alter the team’s dynamics upfront.

The first half ended goalless, with both sides showing cautious intent and probing for weaknesses. Villa Park SC and Domboshaba Social Club battled in midfield, but clear-cut chances were limited as defences held firm.

The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute when Villa Park SC found the net. A well-worked team move saw their attacker slot home a close-range finish with the right foot, putting the home side ahead and igniting the crowd.

Domboshaba Social Club responded with urgency and determination. In the 84th minute, Kent provided a crucial assist with a precise pass to Pako, who calmly converted a close-range tap-in with his left foot to level the score. This goal was pivotal in swinging momentum back towards the visitors.

Just four minutes later, Godfrey, who had come off the bench, scored a spectacular winner. Receiving a long pass from Teto, Godfrey unleashed a left-footed strike from outside the box that found the back of the net, completing a fine team move and sealing a memorable victory for Domboshaba Social Club.

This late surge demonstrated the resilience and attacking quality of Domboshaba Social Club, overturning the deficit and securing all three points on the road. The tactical substitution early in the game and the impact of the substitutes were decisive factors in the outcome.

Overall, Domboshaba Social Club’s disciplined defensive structure combined with incisive attacking play in the final quarter ensured a well-earned triumph at Villa Park.
