In a pulsating friendly encounter at the University of Ibadan on 15 August 2025, Soccer For All (SFA) and Nazi Boys played out a dramatic 3-3 draw, showcasing a thrilling display of attacking football. The match kicked off at 4:30pm, with both teams eager to assert their dominance in this pre-season fixture.
SFA lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, designed to provide a solid defensive base while allowing for fluid attacking transitions. Alisigwe Ekenedilichukwu took his place in goal, protected by a back three consisting of Chukwuemeka Ekemezie in the centre, flanked by Obinna Kingsley on the right and Siyanbade Adedamola on the left. The midfield was anchored by Ebuka Akandu and Abdulsomod Kolawole in central roles, with Emmanuel Osunleke and Richard Adetunji providing width as right and left midfielders, respectively. The attacking trio featured Emmanuel Okedigba and Abdul-samad Adewole supporting lone striker Akorede Obatuyi. The substitutes included Kareem Jamiu, who would later make an impact in the match.
The action began early, with SFA taking the lead in the 8th minute through a stunning strike from Emmanuel Okedigba. Positioned outside the box, Okedigba unleashed a powerful shot that sailed into the top corner, sending the home fans into raptures. However, the lead was short-lived as Nazi Boys responded swiftly, equalising in the 15th minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse from SFA.
As the first half progressed, SFA regained their advantage in the 29th minute when Okedigba struck again, this time with an assist from Akorede Obatuyi. The forward's right-footed effort from outside the box was another spectacular finish, restoring SFA's lead and demonstrating their attacking prowess. The first half concluded with SFA leading 2-1, leaving the players to regroup and strategise for the second half.
The second half began with a substitution for SFA as Richard Adetunji made way for Kareem Jamiu in the 50th minute. The change aimed to inject fresh energy into the midfield, but it was Nazi Boys who struck first, equalising again in the 63rd minute. A well-placed shot from the opponents caught the SFA defence off guard, bringing the score to 2-2.
Just five minutes later, in the 68th minute, Nazi Boys took the lead for the first time in the match, scoring their third goal and putting SFA under pressure. With time running out, SFA needed a response to salvage the game.
In a dramatic turn of events, Kareem Jamiu emerged as the hero for SFA, scoring a crucial goal in the 88th minute to level the match at 3-3. Jamiu's determination and skill shone through as he found the back of the net, ensuring that SFA would not leave empty-handed.
The match concluded with both teams sharing the spoils in an exhilarating encounter that showcased the attacking flair and resilience of Soccer For All. As they prepare for the upcoming season, SFA will take heart from their performance, particularly the contributions of Okedigba and Jamiu, while also recognising the need to tighten their defence to avoid conceding crucial goals in future matches.
