Gunners Youth Academy hosted Lycon Fc at Mombasa on a bright afternoon, kicking off at 1:00pm in a tightly contested 11-a-side encounter. The match concluded with Gunners Youth Academy emerging victorious with a 2-0 scoreline after 90 minutes of competitive football, including added time.

The Gunners Youth Academy lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, a setup designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking fluidity. This formation featured four defenders forming a backline, a single holding midfielder shielding the defence, two central midfielders tasked with linking play and controlling the tempo, and a front three expected to spearhead the attack with pace and creativity. The defensive quartet would have been responsible for maintaining shape and repelling Lycon Fc’s advances, while the lone defensive midfielder would act as the pivot, breaking up opposition play and distributing the ball efficiently. The two central midfielders were likely charged with both supporting the attack and tracking back, providing energy and vision. Up front, the trio would aim to stretch the opposition’s defence, create chances, and convert opportunities into goals.

No substitutes were named for this fixture, indicating that the Gunners Youth Academy relied on their starting eleven throughout the full duration of the match.

In the second half, Gunners Youth Academy found their rhythm and began to assert greater control over proceedings. Their tactical discipline in the 4-1-2-3 formation allowed them to dominate possession and create meaningful chances. The front three combined effectively, exploiting spaces behind Lycon Fc’s defence and testing their goalkeeper with incisive efforts.

Ultimately, Gunners Youth Academy’s persistence paid off as they managed to score twice, securing a clean sheet and a comfortable 2-0 victory. The defensive unit remained resolute throughout, ensuring Lycon Fc were kept at bay and unable to mount a comeback.

This result will boost the confidence of Gunners Youth Academy as they continue their campaign, demonstrating the effectiveness of their formation and the cohesion of their starting lineup.
