SOCCER FOR ALL (SFA) 0 vs 2 EPIC ALLIANCE

Soccer For All (SFA) hosted Epic Alliance at the University of Ibadan on 10 October 2026, with kick-off at 4:00pm in a tightly contested 11-a-side encounter. The match concluded after 90 minutes plus injury time with Epic Alliance securing a 2-0 victory over SFA.

SFA lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying four defenders across the backline, two holding midfielders tasked with shielding the defence and recycling possession, three attacking midfielders positioned to create chances and support the lone striker leading the line. The defensive quartet would be expected to maintain solidity and discipline, while the double pivot in midfield aimed to disrupt Epic Alliance’s rhythm and launch forward plays. The three advanced midfielders were charged with linking midfield to attack, exploiting spaces on the flanks and through the centre, with the striker expected to finish scoring opportunities. No substitutes were named for SFA in the match details.

The first half saw both sides probing cautiously, with neither team able to break the deadlock before the interval. At the 45-minute mark, the referee signalled half time with the scoreline still goalless, reflecting a balanced opening period where defensive organisation largely stifled attacking threats.

The second half, however, brought a shift in momentum as Epic Alliance found their rhythm and managed to convert two goals, ultimately securing the win. Despite SFA’s efforts to respond and regain control, they were unable to breach the opposition’s defence or reduce the deficit. The match concluded with Epic Alliance triumphant by two goals to nil, leaving SFA to reflect on missed opportunities and defensive lapses that proved costly.

Overall, the encounter at the University of Ibadan was a competitive affair with Epic Alliance edging out Soccer For All through clinical finishing in the second half, while SFA’s 4-2-3-1 setup showed promise but fell short of delivering the desired result on the day.
