DOMINIC FOOTBALL ACADEMY 2 vs 0 CAPSTONE FA

Dominic Football Academy faced Capstone FA at Don Bonsco on 6 May 2026, with kick-off at 2:00pm in a league neutral match. The contest stretched to 100 minutes including added time, with Dominic Football Academy emerging victorious by two goals to nil. The match was officiated by Samuel Jumo, and the crowd of 500 witnessed a disciplined and tactical display from the home side.

Dominic Football Academy lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, deploying Ogunlusi Opeyemi in goal. The defensive line featured Adejumo Samad at right back, Ajani Seleem and Olasunboye Paul as central defenders, and Moshud Samad on the left. Adeoye David operated as the lone central midfielder sitting just ahead of the defence, tasked with breaking up opposition play and distributing the ball. Ahead of him, Abidoye Emmanuel and Adeyemi Abdullahi took up the right and left attacking midfield roles respectively, expected to support both defence and attack. The front three consisted of Miracle Hazard on the right wing, John Precious leading the line as striker, and Olapade Khalid on the left wing, all charged with creating and converting chances. The substitutes named were Olayiwola Selim and Awoyemi Favour.

The match began with Dominic Football Academy asserting early control. In the 14th minute, Emmanuel Abidoye opened the scoring after a precise assist from Miracle Hazard, who delivered a well-timed pass to set up the goal. This early strike set the tone for the home side’s attacking intent.

Shortly after, at 18 minutes, Olapade Khalid attempted a shot, but it sailed high over the bar, missing an opportunity to extend the lead. The game soon grew physical, with Moshud Samad receiving a yellow card in the 19th minute, indicating early disciplinary challenges for the hosts.

Capstone FA responded with increased aggression, earning a series of yellow cards between the 37th and 41st minutes for various offences including violent conduct and unsporting behaviour, reflecting their frustration and the intensity of the contest.

Just before half-time, Dominic Football Academy made a tactical substitution at the 44th minute, replacing John Precious with Olayiwola Selim to inject fresh energy into the attack. The second half commenced with Ajani Seleem receiving a yellow card for violent conduct in the 48th minute, while Adejumo Samad was substituted off for Awoyemi Favour at the 49th minute, signalling a reshuffle in defence.

The half-time whistle came at the 50th minute mark, unusual in length but marking the midpoint of this extended fixture. Early in the second half, Olapade Khalid twice found himself offside, once at 51 minutes due to good defending and again at 67 minutes for a mistimed run. Miracle Hazard was also flagged offside on two occasions, at 55 and 73 minutes, highlighting the tight defensive organisation of Capstone FA.

Dominic Football Academy continued to press, with Olayiwola Selim involved in fouls at 74 and 75 minutes, including a push, reflecting the physical nature of the battle. Despite these infractions, the home side’s persistence paid off in the 76th minute when Emmanuel Abidoye doubled the lead, again assisted by Miracle Hazard. This time, the goal came from close range with a precise left-footed finish following a short pass, effectively sealing the victory.

However, the moment was marred slightly as Miracle Hazard received a yellow card for unsporting behaviour immediately after the goal, underscoring the match’s competitive edge.

In the closing stages, fouls continued to disrupt the flow, with Adeyemi Abdullahi penalised for handball at 82 minutes and Olasunboye Paul for a push at 83 minutes. Despite these incidents, Dominic Football Academy maintained their composure and defensive solidity to see out the match without conceding.

Goalkeeper Ogunlusi Opeyemi was named player of the match after a commanding performance between the sticks, making crucial saves and organising the defence effectively throughout the 100 minutes.

Dominic Football Academy’s 4-1-2-3 formation proved effective both defensively and offensively, with disciplined midfield control and incisive wing play from Hazard and Khalid creating the platform for Abidoye’s two goals. Capstone FA’s inability to break down the home side’s structure and their disciplinary issues ultimately cost them dearly in this tightly contested encounter.
