The match began with both sides probing for openings, but it was Mateco who struck first just before half-time. In the 44th minute, Ofeh Joshua unleashed a stunning long-range strike, brilliantly set up by a precise pass from right back Onibudo Babatunde. This goal gave Mateco a crucial lead going into the break.

Kenmus Fc U15 responded with a goal of their own in the 72nd minute, reducing the deficit and injecting fresh urgency into the contest. However, Mateco’s resilience shone through as Olumide struck again in the 86th minute to restore a two-goal cushion, effectively sealing the victory.
Eniolurunda Olumide’s clinical finishing and overall influence earned him the player of the match accolade, highlighting his importance to Mateco’s attacking play. The defensive unit, marshalled by Ofeh Joshua and Joseph Favour, also played a vital role in maintaining the lead despite pressure from the opponents.
