Skibidi United Karachi travelled to Clifton Courtyard on 13 December 2025 for an early morning 8:00am kick-off in a high-octane seven-a-side league encounter against Nova FC. The match lasted 60 minutes plus injury time and ended in a thrilling 9-5 victory for Skibidi United Karachi in what was a goal-fest from start to finish.
Skibidi United Karachi lined up in a 2-1-3 formation, a tactical setup designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking flair. Ammar Ahmed took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper, tasked with organising the backline and making crucial saves. The central defensive duo of Abdurrafay Iqbal and Kashan Ali were responsible for shielding the goal and initiating plays from the back. Ali Rizwan operated as the lone central midfielder, expected to link defence and attack, control the tempo, and support both ends of the pitch. Up front, the attacking trio consisted of Hamza Mehmood on the left forward, Rayan Bashir on the right forward, and Subhan Nadeem leading the line as striker. Their roles were to stretch the opposition defence, create chances, and convert opportunities into goals. No substitutes were named for this fixture.
The match burst into life early on as Hamza Mehmood opened the scoring in the fifth minute, expertly finishing after a precise assist from Rayan Bashir. This early goal set the tone for what was to become a relentless attacking display by Skibidi United Karachi. Rayan Bashir doubled the lead in the 19th minute with a composed finish, signalling his intent to be a key figure in the match.
Just two minutes later, Subhan Nadeem found the net, capitalising on a clever assist from Hamza Mehmood to extend the advantage. The momentum continued as Hamza Mehmood struck again in the 23rd minute, once more assisted by Rayan Bashir, demonstrating the effective partnership down the right flank. Skibidi United Karachi’s fluid attacking play was relentless, and in the 25th minute, Subhan Nadeem scored his second goal of the match, this time set up by a precise pass from central defender Abdurrafay Iqbal, highlighting the team’s ability to build attacks from the back.
Nova FC managed to pull one back in the 27th minute, preventing the scoreline from becoming too one-sided before the half-time whistle blew at the 30-minute mark. The first half had been a showcase of attacking prowess from Skibidi United Karachi, with their forwards combining brilliantly and the defence contributing to offensive moves.
The second half resumed with Skibidi United Karachi quickly reasserting their dominance. Rayan Bashir scored his second goal of the match in the 32nd minute, assisted by Hamza Mehmood, continuing the pattern of incisive interplay between the forwards. Nova FC responded with a goal of their own in the 38th minute, keeping the contest competitive.
Skibidi United Karachi’s Abdurrafay Iqbal then got on the scoresheet in the 47th minute, converting a chance created by Subhan Nadeem, further extending their lead. Rayan Bashir was again on target in the 49th minute, this time assisted by Subhan Nadeem, who was proving to be a constant threat in attack.
Subhan Nadeem completed his hat-trick in the 51st minute, with another assist from Hamza Mehmood, who was instrumental throughout the match. However, Nova FC refused to lie down and scored twice more in quick succession, in the 52nd and 55th minutes, keeping the pressure on Skibidi United Karachi.
The visitors sealed their emphatic victory with a ninth goal in the 59th minute, while Nova FC grabbed a late consolation goal before the final whistle. The match ended 9-5 in favour of Skibidi United Karachi, a result that reflected their attacking dominance and resilience.
Subhan Nadeem was deservedly named player of the match for his clinical finishing and all-round contribution, scoring a hat-trick and assisting in key moments. Skibidi United Karachi’s tactical setup and fluid attacking movements proved too much for Nova FC, who fought hard but ultimately could not contain their opponents’ firepower.
