Sometimes, football reminds us why it’s the most unpredictable sport on the planet. Kakawa FC’s triumph over a red-hot Fima FC side is exactly that kind of reminder. A team with no wins in three tries, facing a top of the table side riding a wave of momentum and yet, it was Kakawa that emerged victorious. It’s a result that speaks not only to tactical execution but to belief.
Credit must go to Attai Usman and his squad. When backs are against the wall, the response is everything. Kakawa didn’t just show up they showed heart. Their intensity from the first whistle and a clear strategy to dominate the midfield paid off. It wasn’t a fluke; it was a game won with grit and smart football.
This is the sort of win that can turn a season around. For players like James Jaja, it’s also a statement performance stepping up when it matters most. In a league like the DSL, where the margin between contenders and strugglers is thin, moments like these become defining.
