Vhagar FC welcomed PAK FC to the Vhagar Football Stadium on 11 September 2025 for a league home match kick-starting at 6:00pm. The 7-a-side encounter saw Vhagar FC emerge victorious with a 2-1 scoreline after a tightly contested 90 minutes plus injury time.
Deploying a 3-2-1 formation, Vhagar FC set up with Hassam in goal, providing a solid last line of defence. The back three consisted of Shahbaz at right defender, Izhan Rashid centrally, and Mani 10 on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supporting forward play. In midfield, Bilal and Shahid Javeed operated centrally, expected to control the tempo and link defence with attack. Up front, the lone striker role was implied within the formation, with midfielders likely pushing forward to support offensive moves. No substitutes were named for this fixture.
The match burst into life early on with Vhagar FC taking the lead in the 11th minute. Shahbaz, positioned at right defender, delivered a precise short pass inside the box to Bilal, who expertly finished with his right foot to open the scoring. This early goal set the tone for Vhagar’s attacking intent and demonstrated the effectiveness of their formation in creating chances from wide defensive positions.
Just seven minutes later, Vhagar FC doubled their advantage. Hassam, the goalkeeper, launched a long pass forward that found Shahid Javeed in close range inside the box. Shahid Javeed controlled the ball well and struck a right-footed finish to extend the lead to 2-0. This goal highlighted the goalkeeper’s vision and the midfield’s ability to capitalise on quick transitions.
PAK FC responded by intensifying their efforts, but Vhagar’s defensive trio, led by Izhan Rashid centrally, remained resolute throughout the first half. The half-time whistle blew with Vhagar FC comfortably ahead 2-0, reflecting their early dominance and clinical finishing.
The second half saw PAK FC pull a goal back, reducing the deficit to 2-1, though the exact details of this goal are not recorded. Despite this, Vhagar FC maintained their composure and defensive organisation, ensuring no further goals were conceded. The back three and midfield duo worked tirelessly to disrupt PAK FC’s rhythm and protect their slender lead.
Throughout the match, Hassam’s role as goalkeeper was pivotal, not only in shot-stopping but also in initiating attacks, as evidenced by his assist for the second goal. Shahbaz’s contribution from right defender was equally vital, combining defensive solidity with creative support. Bilal and Shahid Javeed’s midfield partnership proved decisive in both scoring and controlling the game’s pace.
In the end, Vhagar FC’s tactical discipline and efficient use of their 3-2-1 formation secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over PAK FC at home. The win will boost their confidence as they continue their league campaign, while PAK FC will rue missed opportunities to capitalise on their second-half resurgence. The referee, Shahid Usman, managed the game effectively, allowing the flow of play to remain uninterrupted.
