Wazobia Fc 4 vs 3 Coach house

Wazobia Fc hosted Coach House at the Gallagher Stadium 3G pitch on 11 March 2026, with kick-off at 8:00pm in a tightly contested 6-a-side league encounter. The match lasted 40 minutes plus injury time, and Wazobia Fc emerged victorious by a narrow 4-3 margin in front of a modest crowd of six spectators.

Wazobia Fc lined up in a 2-1-2 formation, deploying two central defenders, a lone central midfielder, and two forwards positioned on the right and left flanks respectively. K C took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper. The defensive duo consisted of Siji Ewedemi and Goodluck Okechukwu, tasked with protecting the backline and initiating play from the rear. Ade Wazobia operated centrally in midfield, expected to link defence and attack while dictating the tempo. Up front, Caleb Nwachuckwu played as the right forward, with Chidex WAZ on the left, both charged with stretching the opposition defence and providing goal threats. The substitutes named were Victor Utibe and Ibezim Uk.

The match began with an early substitution at six minutes when Victor Utibe replaced Siji Ewedemi, a tactical switch that immediately saw K C produce a full-stretch save to deny Coach House a chance. Just two minutes later, Ade Wazobia opened the scoring with a close-range finish using his right foot, giving Wazobia Fc an early lead.

At 13 minutes, Siji Ewedemi, having returned to the field later in the match, demonstrated his defensive awareness by intercepting a dangerous pass, preventing a clear chance for the visitors. Victor Utibe, now on the pitch, showcased his creativity with a flicked key pass at 16 minutes that carved open the opposition defence, setting the stage for Ade Wazobia’s second goal a minute later. This time, Wazobia’s central midfielder unleashed a spectacular screamer from outside the box, expertly assisted by a long pass from Utibe.

The first half concluded at 20 minutes, coinciding with another substitution as Ibezim Uk replaced left forward Chidex WAZ. Shortly after, at 22 minutes, Siji Ewedemi was forced on due to injury, with Victor Utibe returning to the bench.

Goodluck Okechukwu tested the opposition goalkeeper with a wide attempt at 24 minutes, illustrating Wazobia’s continued attacking intent. However, at 27 minutes, Victor Utibe’s misplaced pass momentarily threatened Wazobia’s defensive stability, though it did not lead to a goal.

Coach House capitalised on their opportunity at 28 minutes, scoring from outside the box with a right-footed strike to reduce the deficit. Siji Ewedemi, back on the field, made a crucial tackle at 31 minutes to thwart another chance, reaffirming his defensive importance.

Wazobia Fc responded swiftly as Caleb Nwachuckwu netted a close-range goal from a goalmouth scramble at 33 minutes, restoring a two-goal cushion. Yet, Coach House immediately hit back with a composed team move finished with a left-footed strike from close range, keeping the contest finely balanced.

Goodluck Okechukwu cleared a dangerous ball at 36 minutes, preventing another scoring opportunity for the visitors. However, Coach House continued to press and found the net again at 38 minutes with a right-footed finish, levelling the match at 3-3.

In the dying moments at 40 minutes, Caleb Nwachuckwu secured the winning goal for Wazobia Fc, expertly converting a right-footed finish following a short pass from Victor Utibe. This decisive strike sealed a thrilling 4-3 victory for the home side.

Ade Wazobia’s influential performance, marked by two crucial goals including a stunning long-range effort, earned him the player of the match accolade. Wazobia Fc’s resilience and attacking verve ultimately proved decisive in this pulsating 6-a-side league encounter.
