Wazobia Fc hosted The Man Markers at the Gallagher Stadium 3G pitch on 4 March 2026, with kick-off at 7:20pm in a fast-paced 6-a-side league encounter. The match lasted 40 minutes plus injury time, culminating in a narrow 3-2 victory for Wazobia Fc in front of a modest crowd of six spectators. The referee delivered an impeccable performance, ensuring the game flowed smoothly throughout.

Wazobia Fc lined up in a 2-2-1 formation, deploying two central defenders, two central midfielders, and a lone striker upfront. Kingsley Wazobia guarded the goal, while Siji Ewedemi and Goodluck Okechukwu formed the defensive partnership at the back. Bright Wazobia and David DS10 operated in central midfield roles, tasked with both defensive duties and linking play to the attack. Leading the line was Victor Utibe, expected to spearhead the offensive efforts and convert chances created. On the bench were substitutes Ibezim Uk and Caleb Wazobia, ready to impact proceedings if called upon.

The match began with The Man Markers striking first, taking the lead in the 10th minute to set the tone early on. Wazobia Fc responded with determination, and their efforts paid off in the 19th minute when Victor Utibe capitalised on a precise assist from Goodluck Okechukwu, slotting home a tap-in to level the scores. The first half concluded shortly after, with the teams locked at 1-1.

Just three minutes into the second half, Victor Utibe showcased his striking prowess once more, firing a close-range screamer with his right foot after a clever pass from David DS10, putting Wazobia Fc ahead 2-1. However, the game’s intensity took a toll as Utibe was forced off injured in the 27th minute, making way for substitute Ibezim Uk. A minute later, Caleb Wazobia replaced Bright Wazobia in midfield, signalling a tactical tweak.

The Man Markers were not to be outdone and restored parity in the 31st minute with a stunning direct free-kick, leaving Wazobia Fc’s defence and goalkeeper with no chance. The match continued to ebb and flow with a series of substitutions: Victor Utibe returned to the field in place of David DS10 at 34 minutes, only to be swapped again for Ibezim Uk two minutes later, while Bright Wazobia re-entered the fray replacing Ibezim Uk at 35 minutes.

In a dramatic twist, Ibezim Uk was brought back on for Victor Utibe at the 36th minute mark, highlighting the fluid nature of the squad’s rotation. The decisive moment arrived in the 43rd minute when Ibezim Uk scored with a right-footed finish, securing a vital 3-2 lead for Wazobia Fc. This goal proved to be the winner as the match drew to a close shortly after.

Wazobia Fc’s resilience and tactical flexibility ultimately earned them the three points in a tightly contested 6-a-side league fixture. The defensive solidity of Ewedemi and Okechukwu, combined with the midfield dynamism of Wazobia and DS10, and the clinical finishing of Utibe and Uk, proved decisive in overcoming The Man Markers on their home turf.
