The maiden edition of the LaLiga-npfl u-15 promises competition produced some future stars...
cool down guys! I’ll score again!!
at the owerri zone henry udezuka won over hearts with his display for Abia warriors Lawal Sulaimon’s performance bellies his age and size. this courageous lad produced some astonishing skills that nearly took mfm out of their oshogbo zone.
I love chinedu udoji
enyimba’s duo of Samuel Francis and Godwin Thankgod captivated the crowd with their defensive partnership.
they embodied the never say die enyimba ethos but unfortunately they couldn’t help the team qualify for the quater final stage.
a jan oblak admirer, joseph bright stood firm between the sticks for rivers united! He’s the one for the future!
Elisha Aniefok scored four goals at the owerri zone. some say he is Rashidi yekin reborn!
but fc Ifeanyi ubah’s Nansel Bursa stood head and shoulders above all.
he was their leader and Inspiration!
Nansel, storms through the middle!! shoots!!!
gooooal!
boom! His late goal against Akwa United sent the young Anambra Warriors to the quarter finals!
Already, there’s comparison with the great lionel messi...
it’s my time!
maybe that’s too far but in football anything is possible!
hi, I'm nansel! pleased to meet you!
the quarter finals group stage was going to be a different ball game for nansel and fc ifeanyi ubah
they met Kastina united in the first game!
and the team from the north had a surprise for them!
abdulkadir yahaya soon made it two!
yahaya squares it to husseini mohammed.., clean finish!
yeeeeaaahhhhh!
good one son!
bang! the kastina united bench erupted!
with nansel marked out in the game fc ifeanyi ubah needed someone to stand up!
up stepped arinze nwanfuru COOL DOWN GUYS! I’M HERE!
SUPER BALL FROM BULYA JAPHET AND ARINZE IS ON HIS BIKE...
I’M FAST... I’M SKILLFUL...
Piiiiiiiiiii I’M INTELLIGENT!
nwanfuru’s pace and skill worried the kastina back line! they committed many fouls on him. Babatunde bello converted one of the freekicks to pull a goal back for fc ifeanyi ubah! 2-1 it ended.
nansel bussa got his mojo back in the game against 3sc.
his freekick gave fc ifeanyi ubah a one-nil win!
we’re back! thanks nansel!
if they win their next game against niger tornadoes, fc ifeanyi ubah might just pull through to the final!
but the boys from minna gave them another shocker! good exchange of passes by tornadoes... umar mohammed finishes superbly!
fc ifeanyi ubah tried to rescue a game that was slipping away from them. they brought on arinze nwanfuru!
no chance for you today arinze!
it didn’t work! tornadoes kept their focus to eliminate fc ifeanyi ubah from the tournament!
I am fas.... noooo!
I'll back next season!
this is a tough competition!
it was disappionting for the promising nansel bussa! but we definitely see him again...maybe in the shirts of fc barcelona!
14 year old arinze nwanfuru will be back again next season!
from the group stage in oshogbo, olusegun olakunle has been ABS most outstanding player! hello! you can call me segun!
in the quarter final group stage, he led his team face the mighty enugu rangers!
18th minute!
didn’t mama teach you not to play with your food?
ebuka clear your ball!!
huh?
olakunle capitalized on the error in the rangers defence to give abs the lead!
coach gabriel ezema was not bothered!
don’t worry guys! let’s stick to our plan!
let’s go boys! no fear!
he had every reason not to because rangers had a feared marksman...koma million! not kidding you! that’s the name...million!
for his skill and precision, he was worth every million!
million dribbles through the abs defence...one-twothree...
he shoots!!
bang!!! he scored 8 goals at the abuja centre making rangers a serious contender for the title! you are one in a million koma!
voom! they’re very good!
however 5 minutes into the 2nd half, abs restored their lead through bello sufiyan
in the past 4 games rangers ‘keeper chizoba oko has not faced a team as clinical as abs!
hit!
million takes a freekick from 35 yards! oh! my! it sails in!
but in this tournament, no one was as clinical as koma million! two set piece goals gave rangers the lead for the first time in the game! the keeper stood no chance for the penalty! 3-2 to rangers!
a hattrick to take his goal tally to eleven! koma million has all the makings of a future world star!
in defence rangers had the outstanding chukwuemeka egbu who kept abs at bay in the dying minutes! everyone stay calm! we’re winning!
but with 4 minutes to go abs equalised!
alao pulls it... jamiu olusoji nods it... yesss! 3-all!
yeeessssooo!
like rangers, abs won the next two games but qualified for the final ahead of the young flying antelopes on goal difference!
the final! abs vs kastina united! by half time it was one-all! but the united boys were not just comfortable!
they are attacking from every where!
skippo coach says we should pass more!
we can beat them if we play our game!
their discomfort was confirmed as Abs took control of the midfield!
bello sufiyan scored twice in four minutes to seal the game!
boom!
we’re the best! ABS rules!
3-1 the final score as ABS became the first winners of the LaligaNPFL u-15 promises!
olusegun olakunle lifts the trophy high in the air for the deserving champions!
the competition no doubt unearthed names that will echo in the near future!
