In a disappointing league encounter, Green Lock FC faced a heavy defeat against Atlantic Business FC, with the final score reading 1-4. The match took place on 18 May 2025, kicking off at 8:00 am, and saw Green Lock struggle to contain their opponents throughout the 90 minutes.

The first half saw Atlantic Business FC take control, with their dominance evident when they opened the scoring in the 35th minute. Green Lock struggled to respond effectively, and tensions flared as Israel Amodu received a yellow card for dissent just before the half-time whistle, which blew at the 45-minute mark with the score at 0-1.

As the second half commenced, Green Lock made two immediate substitutions, bringing on Edwin Onazi for Iliyasu Ibrahim and Tope Omotoso for Idris Ibrahim.

In the final moments, Green Lock made their last substitution, introducing Stephen Michael Kwarteng for Israel Amodu in the 87th minute, but it was too late to change the outcome. The match concluded with Atlantic Business FC celebrating a comprehensive victory, leaving Green Lock FC to reflect on a disappointing performance as they look to regroup for their next fixture.
