SFA Secure Convincing 2-0 Victory Over Clippers FC

Soccer For All (SFA) welcomed Clippers FC to the University of Ibadan on 10 September 2025 for a friendly 11-a-side encounter, kicking off at 2:55pm. The home side emerged comfortable 2-0 winners after 90 minutes, asserting control early and maintaining their advantage throughout the match.

SFA lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, deploying a back three of David Jay-Jay at right defender, Bukunmi T in central defence, and Obinna Kingsley on the left. This defensive trio was tasked with providing solidity at the back while supporting wing-backs and midfield runners. The midfield four consisted of Emmanuel Osunleke on the right, Adeola Ayandogu and Abdulsomod Kolawole centrally, and Toki Tundealao on the left, expected to balance defensive duties with forward thrusts. Ahead of them, Ebuka Akandu and Adewole Samad operated as right and left attacking midfielders respectively, linking play and creating chances for lone striker Akorede Obatuyi. Tomiwa Babalola guarded the goal. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The match began with SFA asserting dominance, and it was no surprise when the opening goal arrived early. In the 8th minute, Adewole Samad delivered a precise cross into the box, where left defender Obinna Kingsley rose highest to power a header beyond the Clippers FC goalkeeper. This early breakthrough set the tone for the remainder of the contest, with SFA’s defensive shape and midfield control frustrating their opponents.

As the game progressed, SFA continued to press and create opportunities. The second goal came in the 28th minute when striker Akorede Obatuyi found space inside the box and calmly finished with his right foot to double the lead. This strike underlined the effectiveness of the attacking midfielders in supplying quality service to the forward line.

Clippers FC struggled to carve out meaningful chances, largely contained by the disciplined SFA back three and midfield quartet. The home side’s defensive organisation ensured a clean sheet, with goalkeeper Tomiwa Babalola remaining largely untroubled.

The first half concluded with SFA comfortably ahead 2-0, a lead they maintained through the second period. Despite efforts from Clippers FC to mount a response, SFA’s shape and work rate prevented any significant threat. The match ended 2-0 in favour of Soccer For All, a result that reflected their control and clinical finishing during the 90 minutes at the University of Ibadan.
