However, the exciting fixture was also accompanied by a disciplinary incident involving Monsuru of Josab School.
According to the tournament’s Disciplinary Committee, Monsuru displayed inappropriate conduct towards the referee, his coach and an opposing player during the match.
Following consideration of the incident, the committee imposed a one-match suspension on the player.
The committee described the conduct as unacceptable and contrary to the principles of discipline, respect and sportsmanship expected from every participant in the competition.
It also reminded all players that respect for match officials, coaches, opponents and tournament regulations remains a fundamental requirement throughout the competition.

The result further demonstrated the level of competition among the participating schools, with teams continuing to battle for positive results as the tournament progresses.
Meanwhile, the scheduled encounter between Golden Star and Mighty FC was postponed.
The organisers are expected to announce a new date and time for the fixture, with both teams awaiting further communication.
The latest round produced 14 goals from the two completed matches, adding to the excitement surrounding the second edition of the Bosede Idehen 5-A-Side Football Tournament.
Beyond the results, the competition continues to promote teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship and healthy competition among young footballers.
The tournament organisers have therefore urged all participating players and teams to uphold the values of respect and fair play as the competition enters its next phase.
They stressed that while the pursuit of victory remains important, discipline, respect for officials and opponents, and adherence to the rules must remain central to the tournament.
