In a closely contested friendly match at Okponglo on 23 November 2024, Future Kids Football Club faced off against Angels United U17, ultimately succumbing to a 2-1 defeat. The match kicked off at 4:00 PM, with a decent turnout of 100 spectators witnessing the action unfold.
Future Kids lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, which is designed to provide a solid defensive base while allowing for attacking width. Pascal Eshung took his place in goal, shielded by a back four consisting of John Monyo on the right, Desmond Osei on the left, and the central defensive pairing of Gerald Ohenebeng and Wisdom Atieku. In midfield, Isaac Agyarkwa operated on the right, with Ibrahim Sasil on the left, while Frederick Alugsi and Besard Oppong formed the central duo. Up front, Sherif Adams and Maxwell Ohene were tasked with leading the line as forwards.
As the match commenced, both teams displayed a willingness to attack, but it was Angels United who struck first. They took the lead with a well-placed goal, putting Future Kids on the back foot early in the contest. Despite the setback, Future Kids responded positively, pushing forward in search of an equaliser.
The first half saw Future Kids create several chances, but they were unable to convert their opportunities into goals. The midfield duo of Alugsi and Oppong worked tirelessly to control the centre of the pitch, while the wide players, Agyarkwa and Sasil, attempted to stretch the Angels United defence. However, the half ended with Angels United maintaining their slender lead.
As the second half unfolded, Future Kids continued to press for an equaliser, and their efforts bore fruit when they managed to find the back of the net, bringing the score to 1-1. The goal invigorated the home side, who sensed a potential turnaround in fortunes.
However, Angels United were not to be outdone. They quickly regrouped and regained their composure, responding with a second goal that once again put them ahead. The Future Kids defence, while solid for much of the match, was caught out on this occasion, allowing Angels United to capitalise on a moment of indecision.
With time running out, Future Kids threw everything they had into their attacking play, desperately seeking another equaliser. Despite their best efforts, including several attempts from Adams and Ohene, they were unable to breach the Angels United defence again.
As the final whistle blew, the score remained 2-1 in favour of Angels United U17, leaving Future Kids to reflect on a match that showcased their potential but ultimately ended in disappointment. Referee Ken officiated the match, though his performance drew mixed reviews from the players and spectators alike.
In the end, Future Kids FC will take valuable lessons from this encounter as they look to improve and build on their performance in future fixtures.
