On 4 October 2025, Multivolume FC hosted Prestigious FC at a neutral venue in a tournament match kicking off at 11:00am. The contest ended in a 3-1 victory for Multivolume FC after a spirited 90 minutes plus injury time, thrilling the modest crowd of 154 spectators.
Multivolume FC lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying Ogunsiji Oluwatosin in goal. The defensive line featured Oluwatobiloba Adéwálé at right back, Victor Nwore and Kamaldeen Mojeeb as central defenders, and Balogun Yomi on the left flank. In midfield, Victor Onakoya and Sodiq Bakre operated as the two holding central midfielders, tasked with both defensive duties and initiating attacks. Ahead of them, the attacking trio consisted of Aare Thoba on the right wing, Odubanjo Moyinoluwa centrally positioned as the attacking midfielder, and Endurance John on the left wing. Leading the line was Salisu Isak as the lone striker, expected to spearhead the offensive efforts. The substitutes available were Lateef Ayomide, Kehinde Musibau, Odunaike Femi, Ikpe Joseph, and Salisu Olayemi.
The match burst into life in the 21st minute when Victor Onakoya opened the scoring with a sublime direct free-kick from outside the box, expertly curled with his left foot following a precise set-piece delivery from Aare Thoba. This early breakthrough set the tone for Multivolume FC’s attacking intent.
Continuing their dominance, Multivolume FC doubled their advantage in the 36th minute. Odubanjo Moyinoluwa delivered a perfectly weighted long pass to Aare Thoba, who unleashed a powerful left-footed strike from distance that flew past the Prestigious FC goalkeeper, leaving the visitors stunned.
However, Prestigious FC responded swiftly before the interval, pulling a goal back in the 39th minute through a close-range header. Their attacker capitalised on a well-placed cross, rising highest to nod the ball home and reduce the deficit to 2-1, injecting renewed hope into their side.
The first half concluded with Multivolume FC holding a slender two-goal lead. Early in the second half, Victor Onakoya’s industrious performance was marred by a yellow card in the 51st minute for persistent infringements, reflecting his combative midfield presence.
Shortly after, in the 53rd minute, Multivolume FC were forced into their first substitution when Salisu Isak, the lone striker, went off injured and was replaced by Lateef Ayomide. The change proved inspired as Ayomide made an immediate impact.
In the 61st minute, Lateef Ayomide scored a diving header from close range, expertly guided onto the target by a precise cross from Aare Thoba. This goal extended Multivolume FC’s lead to 3-1 and effectively put the game beyond Prestigious FC’s reach.
Tragically for Multivolume FC, Ayomide’s involvement was short-lived as he too succumbed to injury just a minute later, necessitating another substitution. Kehinde Musibau came on to replace him in the 62nd minute.
Tactical adjustments followed with Odunaike Femi entering for Kamaldeen Mojeeb in defence at the 65th minute, and Ikpe Joseph replacing Balogun Yomi on the left side of defence a minute later, signalling a shift to maintain defensive solidity and manage the game’s tempo.
Further injury woes struck in the 73rd minute when Oluwatobiloba Adéwálé was withdrawn and Salisu Olayemi took his place at right back, ensuring fresh legs at the back as the match approached its closing stages.
Throughout the match, Victor Onakoya’s influence in midfield was pivotal, combining defensive grit with creative spark, earning him the accolade of Player of the Match. His early free-kick goal and tireless work rate underpinned Multivolume FC’s success.
In summary, Multivolume FC’s clinical finishing, particularly from distance and set-pieces, alongside effective tactical substitutions, secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Prestigious FC in this competitive tournament fixture.
