Goal Diggers FC Fall To Narrow Defeat At Ojoo Motor Park

On 12 October 2025, Goal Diggers FC travelled to Ojoo Motor Park to face OGOLOGO FC in a keenly contested tournament away fixture that kicked off at 2:00pm. The 90-minute encounter plus added time ended in a 1-0 defeat for Goal Diggers, as OGOLOGO FC secured all three points on home soil.

Goal Diggers lined up in a classic 4-3-3 formation, deploying four defenders, three midfielders, and a front three aimed at balancing defensive solidity with attacking threat. Enuiyin Olasunkanmi took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper, tasked with organising the backline. The defensive quartet consisted of Titus Oluwatimilehin at right back, Atanda Bobby and Abidoye Abdulgafar as central defenders, and Oyeniran Emmanuel covering the left flank. In midfield, Ibrahim Hassan operated on the right, Ayinde Oluwaseye held the central midfield role, and Olatunji Adeniyi occupied the left midfield position. Up front, the attacking trio featured Mukaila Mubarak on the right wing, Eme Asuquo leading the line as striker, and Richard Adetunji on the left wing. The substitutes bench included Ojo Tunmise, Azeez Olamide, Aliu Taofeek, Oladimeji Daniel, and Akande Emmanuel.

The first half saw both sides probing cautiously, with neither team able to break the deadlock by the interval. Goal Diggers maintained their shape well, with the midfield trio working hard to link defence and attack, while the full-backs provided width without compromising defensive duties. The forwards, particularly Asuquo, looked to exploit any gaps but were met with resolute defending from OGOLOGO FC.

Early in the second half, the deadlock was broken in the 51st minute when OGOLOGO FC found the net, handing Goal Diggers a mountain to climb. The goal came as a blow to the visitors, who had been striving to gain control in midfield and create clear-cut chances.

In response, Goal Diggers made a double substitution in the 56th minute, bringing on Ojo Tunmise for Olatunji Adeniyi on the left midfield and Azeez Olamide replacing right back Titus Oluwatimilehin. These changes aimed to inject fresh energy and defensive stability on the flanks. Despite these adjustments, the team struggled to find a way past the home side’s defence.

Further changes came in the 71st minute as Aliu Taofeek replaced central defender Atanda Bobby, Oladimeji Daniel came on for right midfielder Ibrahim Hassan, and Akande Emmanuel took the place of right forward Mukaila Mubarak. These triple substitutions reflected a tactical shift, with Goal Diggers seeking to alter the dynamic in midfield and attack to salvage a point.

Throughout the second half, Goal Diggers pressed forward in search of an equaliser, but OGOLOGO FC’s defensive organisation and discipline kept them at bay. The visitors’ attacking players found limited space and opportunities, and despite their efforts, the scoreboard remained unchanged.

Ultimately, Goal Diggers FC were unable to overturn the deficit and left Ojoo Motor Park with a narrow 1-0 defeat. The match highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in breaking down well-structured defences and maintaining defensive resilience after conceding. The substitutions demonstrated the manager’s intent to adapt and respond, but the home side’s solitary goal proved decisive in this tightly fought encounter.
