In an electrifying display of determination and teamwork, VOE Football Academy claimed their first win of the TCC League season with a stunning 4-3 comeback against Sporting FA.
Despite playing with ten men for most of the match, the young squad, under the leadership of standout player Abdulraheem Taiwo, showcased their resilience and skill.
The game, held on October 6, 2024, at the VOE Academy ground, saw the home team fall behind early. Sporting FA capitalized on their numerical advantage and established a commanding lead, sending shockwaves through the Academy’s supporters.
However, Taiwo and his teammates were undeterred. They rallied back with sheer grit, scoring four goals in an exhilarating second half, while holding Sporting FA to just one additional goal.
“Finding myself in this team is a blessing, and I’m proud of how we fought back today,” said Taiwo, who was named Man of the Match.
“This is our first season in the league, and we know it’s very competitive. Every match is a test, and we need to give our best. Today, we showed that we can rise to the challenge.”
Taiwo’s leadership on the field was pivotal, not only in terms of scoring but also in motivating his teammates to believe in their capability to overturn the deficit. The young talents from VOE have made it clear they are here to compete and make their mark in the Creative Championship.
The win not only lifts the spirits of the players but also positions VOE Football Academy as a formidable contender in the TCC League. Their next match promises to be just as thrilling as they continue to build momentum in their inaugural season. The future looks bright for this promising academy, and the journey has just begun.
