Soccer For All (SFA) hosted USFC at the University of Ibadan on 19 September 2026, with kick-off at 4:00pm in a competitive 11-a-side fixture. The match concluded with SFA triumphing 3-1 after a full 90 minutes plus added time, showcasing a dominant display on home soil.
SFA lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, deploying four defenders across the backline, a single defensive midfielder shielding the defence, two central midfielders tasked with linking play, and a front three spearheading the attack. This setup was designed to provide defensive solidity while maintaining width and attacking options upfront. The defensive line would be expected to maintain discipline and prevent USFC’s forwards from finding space, while the lone defensive midfielder would break up opposition attacks and recycle possession. The two central midfielders had the responsibility to control the tempo and supply the front three, who were charged with creating and converting goal-scoring opportunities.
No substitutes were named for this fixture.
The first half saw a tightly contested battle with both sides probing for openings. At the 45-minute mark, the referee signalled half time, with the scoreline reflecting a competitive encounter. The teams went into the break with SFA holding a slender advantage, setting the stage for an intense second period.
In the second half, SFA’s attacking trio came to the fore, capitalising on their tactical setup to carve out chances and ultimately secure three goals. USFC managed to pull one back, but it was not enough to overturn the deficit. SFA’s midfielders and defensive midfielder played a crucial role in maintaining control and disrupting USFC’s rhythm, allowing their forwards to operate with greater freedom.
Throughout the match, SFA demonstrated a cohesive team performance, with their formation allowing them to balance defensive duties and attacking impetus effectively. The 4-1-2-3 system proved instrumental in their ability to dominate possession and create multiple goal-scoring opportunities, culminating in a well-deserved 3-1 victory over USFC.
