The match lasted 70 minutes plus added time, with Motlhape Football Academy securing a commanding 4-0 victory over their visitors. The referee, Random, officiated with distinction, ensuring a well-controlled game in front of 250 spectators.
Motlhape Football Academy lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, a setup designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking flair. The back four provided a solid defensive base, while the lone defensive midfielder shielded the defence and helped recycle possession. Ahead of him, two central midfielders were tasked with linking defence and attack, supporting both ends of the pitch. The front three, consisting of wide forwards on the left and right flanks and a central striker, were expected to stretch the opposition’s defence and create scoring opportunities.

The first half saw Motlhape Football Academy assert their dominance early on, controlling possession and pressing BlackPool FC U15 high up the pitch. Despite their efforts, the first 35 minutes passed without any goals, and the referee signalled half-time with the scoreline still goalless. Motlhape’s midfield trio worked tirelessly to break down the opposition’s shape, while the back four remained resolute against BlackPool’s attempts to penetrate.
The second half witnessed a remarkable transformation as Motlhape Football Academy found their rhythm and began to carve open BlackPool’s defence with increasing frequency. The attacking trio combined effectively, exploiting spaces on the flanks and delivering precise crosses into the box. This pressure culminated in four well-taken goals, each showcasing Motlhape’s clinical finishing and tactical discipline.
Throughout the match, Motlhape’s defensive organisation was exemplary, nullifying BlackPool FC U15’s attacking threats and maintaining a clean sheet. The lone defensive midfielder played a pivotal role in intercepting passes and initiating counter-attacks, while the full-backs provided width and support in both defence and attack.
Mothobekhi Innocent was deservedly named Player of the Match for his outstanding contribution. His influence was evident across the pitch, combining defensive tenacity with creative spark, and he was instrumental in Motlhape’s dominant performance.
In summary, Motlhape Football Academy delivered a comprehensive and commanding display at Senopelwa, outclassing BlackPool FC U15 4-0. Their tactical discipline, combined with clinical finishing and solid defensive work, ensured a memorable victory in front of a lively crowd.
