CF VILANOVA travelled to Don Bosco Kuwinda on 10 May 2026 for an early morning 8:00am kick-off against coqni skills in a crucial league fixture. The 90-minute contest, played under the 11-a-side format, ended in a narrow 3-2 victory for the visitors, CF VILANOVA, who secured all three points on the road.
Deploying a 3-2-4-1 formation, CF VILANOVA set up with a solid back three comprising Pinto P at right defender, Ryan Otieno centrally, and Humphery H on the left. This defensive trio was tasked with maintaining a compact shape and providing cover for the midfield. In front of them, the double pivot of Reuben Ochieng and Raul O operated as central midfielders, expected to shield the defence and initiate attacks. The attacking line featured four midfielders: Joshua Blessing on the right, Forlan M and Paul Otieno centrally as attacking midfielders, and Douglass O on the left, all supporting the lone striker Emanuel Nakia. This setup aimed to balance defensive solidity with creative freedom in the final third.
CF VILANOVA’s starting eleven was completed by goalkeeper Onyi K, who was charged with commanding the goal and organising the defence. No substitutes were named for this fixture.
From the outset, the match promised intensity as both sides sought to impose their style. CF VILANOVA’s back three maintained a disciplined line, with Ryan Otieno often stepping up to intercept coqni skills’ advances. The midfield duo of Reuben Ochieng and Raul O worked tirelessly to disrupt the opposition’s rhythm while distributing the ball forward.
The attacking midfield quartet combined fluidly, with Joshua Blessing and Douglass O providing width and pace on the flanks. Forlan M and Paul Otieno looked to exploit pockets of space between coqni skills’ midfield and defence, aiming to feed the striker Emanuel Nakia. Nakia, as the focal point, held up play effectively and looked to bring others into the game.
The first half saw a competitive battle with chances at both ends, but neither side managed to break the deadlock before the interval. The half-time whistle at 45 minutes brought a brief pause to a tightly contested opening period.
In the second half, CF VILANOVA’s attacking intent intensified. The visitors capitalised on their tactical setup, with Emanuel Nakia proving pivotal in converting opportunities. The fluidity of the four attacking midfielders created multiple goal-scoring chances, stretching coqni skills’ defence.
Despite coqni skills’ efforts to claw back into the game, CF VILANOVA’s defensive trio remained resolute, with Pinto P and Humphery H effectively neutralising threats from wide areas. The midfield pairing continued to provide a strong shield, breaking up play and launching counter-attacks.
Ultimately, CF VILANOVA’s clinical finishing made the difference, as they netted three goals compared to coqni skills’ two. The narrow margin reflected the competitive nature of the fixture, but the visitors’ tactical discipline and attacking prowess earned them a valuable away victory.
This result will boost CF VILANOVA’s confidence as they look to build momentum in the league, while coqni skills will rue missed opportunities on home soil. The match at Don Bosco Kuwinda showcased a well-contested encounter with quality football from both sides.
