Future Pro Football Academy Edge Apex Soccer Academy 5-3 In Thrilling Six-A-Side Clash

Future Pro football Academy travelled to Mega Moore Mini Stadium on 11 December 2025 to face Apex Soccer Academy in a friendly six-a-side match, kicking off at 4:00pm. The encounter, lasting 60 minutes plus two minutes of added time, saw Future Pro emerge victorious with a 5-3 scoreline in a pulsating contest refereed by Collins, who maintained good control throughout.

Future Pro lined up in a 2-2-1 formation, a tactical setup designed to balance defensive solidity with midfield creativity and attacking potency. In goal, Abu-Rahman Kamal was tasked with commanding the area and organising the defence. The two central defenders, Louis Ejeru and Akanbi Basit, were expected to provide a strong defensive backbone, covering the central channels and stifling Apex’s attacking threats. Ahead of them, central midfielders Joel Moyosore and Sagbovoun Isaac were charged with linking defence and attack, controlling possession, and supporting both ends of the pitch. Leading the line was striker Ani Goodluck, whose role was to spearhead the attack, hold up play, and convert chances. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The match began at a brisk pace, with both sides eager to assert themselves in the tight confines of the six-a-side format. Future Pro’s defensive duo of Ejeru and Basit worked cohesively to repel early advances from Apex, while Moyosore and Isaac sought to dictate the tempo through quick passing and intelligent movement. Isaac, in particular, demonstrated his influence in midfield, orchestrating play and creating opportunities for Goodluck up front.

As the first half progressed, Future Pro’s attacking intent became increasingly apparent. Goodluck’s positioning and sharpness in the final third tested Apex’s defence repeatedly. The midfield pairing of Moyosore and Isaac combined well to exploit spaces, with Isaac’s vision and passing range standing out. The half-time whistle arrived at the 30-minute mark with the scoreline reflecting a competitive encounter, though the exact goalscorers and timing of goals were not detailed.

The second half saw Future Pro maintain their intensity and tactical discipline. Kamal’s goalkeeping was assured, making crucial saves to keep Apex at bay. Defenders Ejeru and Basit continued to marshal the backline effectively, cutting out dangerous Apex moves. Midfielders Moyosore and Isaac remained pivotal, with Isaac’s performance earning him the player of the match accolade for his commanding presence and ability to influence the game on both ends.

Striker Goodluck capitalised on the service provided by his teammates, converting chances that ultimately secured Future Pro’s five-goal tally. Apex Soccer Academy fought valiantly, netting three times themselves, but were unable to overturn the deficit. The match concluded after 62 minutes, including injury time, with Future Pro’s 5-3 victory a testament to their cohesive team play and tactical execution.

Referee Collins managed the game well, ensuring a fair and flowing contest in front of a modest crowd of 50 spectators. Future Pro football Academy’s display at Mega Moore Mini Stadium will surely boost confidence as they continue their development in the six-a-side format.
