Match Overview:

The match, held at the heart of Surulere, Lagos, was a high-intensity affair that saw the home team from Surulere square off against the visiting team from Alimosho. From the very first whistle, the game was filled with electrifying moments, as both teams showcased their skills and determination on the field.

The first half was dominated by the Away Team, Pumah FA, who took an early lead with a swift goal and ended the half with a commanding 2-0 advantage. The second half continued with the same intensity, with Pumah FA adding two more goals to their tally. Despite their best efforts, the Young Talent Football Academy managed only a single goal, unfortunately scored as an own goal by the Away team, bringing the final score to 1-4 in favor of Pumah FA.
