Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Nowhere to hide for Inter Allies
0‑3 against Hasaacas, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Shuaibu Garba was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonathan Baba has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Felix Mohammed left the room before anybody could ask which.
In brief
- The dugout Olasunkanmi Quadri knocks on the manager's door
- Squad Francis Acquah: “I am not a substitute”
- The dugout No place in the plan for Odah Marshall
