Gbagada FC found their rhythm once again in Match Day 15 of The Creative Championship League 2024/2025, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Broad City FC.
The standout performer of the match was none other than Taiwo Akire, whose brilliant first-half display not only earned him the Bet9ja Man of the Match award but also played a crucial role in Gbagada’s much-needed win.
The match kicked off with Gbagada asserting dominance early. Agbayi’s precise finish in the 11th minute set the tone, giving the visitors an early lead.
However, it was Taiwo Akire’s clinical strike in the 37th minute that truly highlighted Gbagada’s attacking intent. His goal doubled the advantage and proved to be the difference-maker despite Broad City pulling one back in the second half.
After the final whistle, an elated Taiwo Akire shared his thoughts in a post-match interview, reflecting on both his performance and the team’s resilience:
“It was a challenging game, but we came prepared and executed our plan effectively,” Akire said with a smile. “Scoring that goal was a special moment for me, but more importantly, it helped the team secure the win.
This victory is not just mine—it belongs to the entire squad. We fought hard, stayed disciplined, and showed the hunger to bounce back. This is the Gbagada spirit.”
Akire’s humility and focus on the collective effort reflect the strong team ethos at Gbagada FC.
Despite being the standout player, he was quick to credit his teammates and coaching staff for the win.
“Football is a team sport,” he continued. “Individual awards like Man of the Match are great, but they mean nothing without the support of your teammates. This win boosts our confidence, and we’ll carry this momentum into the next games.”
With this victory, Gbagada FC not only secured three crucial points but also reignited their campaign with renewed belief.
Taiwo Akire’s performance will undoubtedly be remembered as the spark that reignited their season, showcasing both leadership and class on the pitch.
