Hypebuzz FC welcomed Mailantariki FC to Bwari Township Stadium on 20 January 2026 for a 1:00pm league kick-off, where they emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline after a disciplined and controlled display. The match lasted the full 90 minutes plus injury time under the watchful eye of referee N-Youth Ref, with 243 spectators in attendance.
Hypebuzz FC lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, deploying Ibu Matthew in goal, protected by a back four consisting of Habeeb Akinde at right back, Elochukwu Udemezue and Balde Mamadou as central defenders, and Aluko Segun at left back. Ridwan Yusuf operated as the lone defensive midfielder, tasked with shielding the defence and recycling possession. Ahead of him, Yusupha Sohna took up the right attacking midfield role, while Peter Okogbenin occupied the left attacking midfield position, both expected to supply the front three. The attacking trio featured Daniel James on the right wing, Anoruo Wisdom Amarachi leading the line as striker, and Jallow Doudu on the left wing. On the bench, Hypebuzz FC had Adedoyin David Adeniyi, Tochwukwu Mbah, Ebrimma Sawaneh, and Micheal Pascal available for tactical changes.
The first half saw Hypebuzz FC assert control through their midfield and wide players, probing the Mailantariki defence with purposeful attacks. The breakthrough came in the 34th minute when Anoruo Wisdom Amarachi capitalised on a close-range opportunity, slotting home a tap-in with his left foot after good work from the attacking midfielders. This goal rewarded Hypebuzz’s patient build-up play and gave them a deserved lead going into the final stages of the first half.
At half time, the score remained 1-0 in favour of Hypebuzz FC, who had managed to keep Mailantariki FC at bay with a well-organised defensive shape and effective pressing in midfield.
Early in the second half, Hypebuzz made a triple substitution in the 68th minute to refresh their attacking impetus. Adedoyin David Adeniyi replaced the goal scorer Anoruo Wisdom Amarachi, Tochwukwu Mbah came on for left winger Jallow Doudu, and Ebrimma Sawaneh took over from left attacking midfielder Peter Okogbenin. These tactical changes aimed to maintain the team’s attacking threat and energy levels as the match progressed.
Their strategy quickly paid dividends. Just four minutes after the substitutions, in the 72nd minute, Daniel James doubled the lead with a close-range tap-in using his right foot. This goal effectively put the game beyond Mailantariki’s reach and allowed Hypebuzz to control the tempo with greater confidence.
Later, in the 79th minute, another tactical substitution saw Micheal Pascal replace Daniel James on the right wing, allowing Hypebuzz to consolidate their advantage and manage the closing stages of the match.
Throughout the game, the defensive partnership of Elochukwu Udemezue and Balde Mamadou was particularly impressive, with Udemezue earning player of the match honours for his commanding presence and crucial interventions at the heart of defence. The backline’s resilience ensured that Mailantariki FC failed to register a single goal, while the midfield and attacking players combined effectively to create and convert chances.
In the end, Hypebuzz FC’s 2-0 victory was a testament to their tactical discipline, effective substitutions, and clinical finishing at Bwari Township Stadium. This result will boost their confidence as they look ahead to the next fixtures in the league campaign.
