The recently concluded match between Ujari and Amannagwu in the maiden female football competition hosted by the Ifeanyi Ogbonna Movement (IOM) was a day to forget for Amannagwu village. On Saturday, June 22, 2024, at the Aggrey C Field in ASCETA, Ujari delivered a stunning performance, defeating Amannagwu 6-0.
The match began with high hopes for both villages, but it quickly became evident that Ujari was the dominant team. From the outset, Ujari controlled ball possession, made numerous goal attempts, and earned several corner kicks, putting relentless pressure on Amannagwu. By the end of the first half, Ujari led 1-0, setting the stage for a decisive second half.
The second half saw Ujari’s players unleash a barrage of goals, scoring every five minutes and leaving Amannagwu unable to mount any effective resistance. Despite their best efforts, Amannagwu could not match the skill and intensity of the Ujari players. Rumors suggest that Ujari’s team comprises not just local players but professionals who have made football their livelihood, explaining their superior performance.
With this resounding victory, Ujari has firmly established itself as a formidable contender in the competition, while Amannagwu has been eliminated in this knockout stage. However, Amannagwu remains hopeful of being recognized as the best loser, should no other village concede as many goals in the ongoing matches.
The Ifeanyi Ogbonna Movement’s initiative continues to bring the community together, highlighting the spirit of sportsmanship and fostering unity. The competition proceeds with great anticipation for the upcoming matches, as villagers eagerly await to see which teams will advance and which will face elimination.
