7 Star Family travelled to Kano to face Yakasai Bola in a six-a-side friendly match on 27 March 2026, kicking off at 5:20am. The encounter ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw after 90 minutes of intense action, witnessed by a modest crowd of 100 spectators. Both sides displayed resilience, with 7 Star Family mounting a late comeback to salvage a point on the road.
Deploying a 1-2-2 formation, 7 Star Family set up with a single goalkeeper, T Abul, anchoring the defence. The backline was supported by two central midfielders, Ft_ Munir and M. Burhan, tasked with both defensive duties and linking play through the middle. Up front, the team relied on two forwards positioned on the right and left flanks, A K and H Alii respectively, expected to provide width and attacking impetus. This balanced setup aimed to maintain defensive solidity while allowing quick transitions into attack. The substitutes available for 7 Star Family included A poden, m salah, Al-amin Al amin, s shahidi, M.SANEE 21, A Junior, and T Fadil.
The match began with both teams probing cautiously, but it was clear that Yakasai Bola were eager to impose themselves on home turf. As the first half progressed, 7 Star Family made a double substitution on the 40th minute, bringing on A poden for A K and m salah for H Alii, signalling a tactical shift to refresh the forward line. Shortly after, at the 43rd minute, Al-amin Al amin replaced M. Burhan in midfield, just before the half-time whistle at 45 minutes.
The second half saw Yakasai Bola strike early, breaking the deadlock in the 48th minute to take a 1-0 lead. The home side’s momentum was further bolstered when 7 Star Family made another change at the 50th minute, with s shahidi coming on for central defender T Abul, perhaps to inject energy into the defensive line. Despite these adjustments, Yakasai Bola doubled their advantage in the 72nd minute, putting 7 Star Family under significant pressure.
In response, 7 Star Family introduced fresh legs in quick succession. At the 75th minute, M.SANEE 21 replaced Al-amin Al amin, while A Junior came on for m salah, aiming to revitalise the midfield and attack. A further substitution followed at the 79th minute, with T Fadil replacing s shahidi, adding dynamism to the squad as the match entered its final stages.
The visitors’ persistence paid off in the 84th minute when Ft_ Munir capitalised on a well-worked team move, finishing clinically after an assist from M.SANEE 21 to halve the deficit. Just three minutes later, T Fadil unleashed a stunning strike from outside the area, assisted by A poden, to level the score at 2-2. This late flurry of goals demonstrated 7 Star Family’s determination and ability to respond under pressure.
The referee’s performance was middling, rated at 50, but the game flowed with few interruptions, allowing both teams to showcase their skills in this fast-paced six-a-side format. The match concluded with honours even, reflecting the competitive spirit and tactical adjustments made by both sides throughout the 90 minutes.
In summary, 7 Star Family’s tactical flexibility and timely substitutions were crucial in overturning a two-goal deficit against Yakasai Bola. The 1-2-2 formation provided a solid base, while the forwards and midfielders combined effectively in the closing stages to secure a valuable away draw in Kano.
