Tiki Taka Dortmund 18 vs 3 Leigh Genesis Nuclear

Tiki Taka Dortmund welcomed Leigh Genesis Nuclear to St James's High School on 18 April 2026 for a league home match that kicked off at 10:30am. Over the course of 70 minutes plus injury time, Dortmund delivered a stunning attacking display to run out 18-3 winners in an emphatic 11-a-side encounter refereed by Mason.

Tiki Taka Dortmund lined up in a classic 4-3-3 formation, deploying Kamsy Anajemba in goal. The defensive line consisted of Brajan Staszkowicz at right back, Archie Hunt and Lawrence Nwakamma as central defenders, and Nathen Platt on the left. The midfield trio featured Noah Rule on the right, Mustafa centrally, and Seka Sewagudde on the left. Upfront, the front three were Sonic Leung on the right wing, Favour Ajumobi leading as striker, and Alex Maoneo on the left wing. The substitutes named were Inno Maoneo and Finley Barlow.

From the outset, Dortmund’s 4-3-3 promised width and attacking intent, with full-backs expected to support forward play and midfielders tasked with both creativity and defensive cover. The front three were set to stretch the opposition defence and capitalise on chances created from wide areas and central penetrations.

The match burst into life within two minutes as Alex Maoneo’s early attempt was well saved by the keeper, but the rebound fell nicely to Sonic Leung who opened the scoring with a close-range finish using his left foot. Defensive solidity was evident early on with Lawrence Nwakamma and Nathen Platt making crucial tackles in the fourth and fifth minutes respectively to halt Leigh Genesis advances.

Dortmund’s attacking momentum continued as Brajan Staszkowicz delivered a precise cross for Alex Maoneo to calmly slot home for his first goal of the day in the eighth minute. Two minutes later, Noah Rule doubled the lead with a right-footed finish inside the box, expertly set up by a long pass from Nathen Platt. Leigh Genesis managed to pull one back in the 12th minute, but Dortmund’s response was swift.

Nathen Platt’s shot was saved at 14 minutes, but Alex Maoneo was on hand to nod in a header from a corner delivered by Noah Rule two minutes later. Shortly after, tactical changes began with Inno Maoneo replacing Sonic Leung at 16 minutes, followed by Finley Barlow coming on for Seka Sewagudde at 18 minutes.

Favour Ajumobi added to the tally in the 19th minute, finishing with his right foot from a Brajan Staszkowicz cross inside the box. Noah Rule continued to influence play with a key long pass creating another chance moments later. Archie Hunt also contributed with a long through ball that led to a chance at 20 minutes, though Brajan Staszkowicz’s subsequent attempt went wide of the post. Brajan was presented with another chance soon after but was denied by a good save from the keeper.

Favour Ajumobi’s efforts were thwarted twice in quick succession at 22 and 24 minutes with the keeper again making two good saves.
