South City Fc 0 vs 5 Golden axe deaf

South City Fc hosted Golden Axe Deaf at the Roadblock Grounds on 8 February 2026, with kick-off at 2:00pm in a crucial league fixture. The home side suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat in front of 400 spectators, as Golden Axe Deaf dominated the contest from start to finish.

South City Fc lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking width. Vicky Mwangi took position in goal, protected by a back four comprising Collins Babu at right back, Fabian Otieno and Bedan Muchiri as central defenders, and Machok Deng on the left. The midfield trio featured Nick Kantai on the right, Alvin Lole centrally, and Mike Kyalo on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supplying the front three. Upfront, Richard Kennedy operated on the right wing, Malachi Ade led the line as striker, and Rodney Korir played on the left. The substitutes named were Amos Kimelly, Patrick Muraya, and L Glen.

The match began disastrously for South City Fc as Golden Axe Deaf capitalised on a defensive error to open the scoring inside four minutes. A close-range finish with the left foot punished a lapse in concentration, setting the tone for the visitors’ dominance. South City’s defence struggled to regain composure, and the pressure told again in the 35th minute when another defensive mistake allowed Golden Axe Deaf to double their lead with a right-footed strike.

Despite the early setbacks, South City Fc attempted to regroup but found it difficult to break down a well-organised Golden Axe Deaf side. The first half ended with the visitors firmly in control, leading 2-0 at the interval.

Just five minutes into the second half, Golden Axe Deaf extended their advantage to 3-0. This time the goal came from outside the box, a left-footed effort that exploited another defensive error from South City Fc. The home side’s backline appeared increasingly vulnerable as the game progressed.

In response, South City Fc made tactical substitutions at the 55th minute, bringing on Amos Kimelly for Rodney Korir and Patrick Muraya for Mike Kyalo, hoping fresh legs might spark a revival. Ten minutes later, L Glen replaced Richard Kennedy in another tactical switch aimed at injecting energy into the attack.

However, Golden Axe Deaf continued to assert their dominance. In the 70th minute, they scored a spectacular long-range goal from a direct free-kick, struck with the right foot, leaving Vicky Mwangi with no chance. This goal effectively sealed the contest as a one-sided affair.

South City Fc’s woes were compounded in the 89th minute when yet another defensive mistake allowed Golden Axe Deaf to score their fifth goal from close range. The home side’s defensive frailties were ruthlessly exposed throughout the match.

Referee Wekesa oversaw the game without notable controversy, though the visitors’ clinical finishing and South City Fc’s defensive errors were the defining features of the encounter. The home team will need to regroup quickly after this heavy defeat as they look to improve their defensive organisation and overall performance in upcoming fixtures.
