It was a day of mixed emotions for Inspire Sports Academy as their feeder side, Inspire Feeders (ISAGT), booked a dramatic semi-final spot, while the senior team crashed out of the 2025 Lagos 1XBET Community Cup following a narrow defeat to Dosu Joseph FC.
In the early fixture, ISAGT delivered a stunning comeback against Vinom Energy. After trailing 1–0 at halftime, they returned with renewed determination in the second half. Goals from Fawaz Agboluaje and Ibrahim Matiti turned the match around, sealing a 2–1 victory that sparked wild celebrations among their supporters.
Reacting to the result, the academy’s Public Relations Officer, Oluwatope Ayokunle (popularly known as Tubaba Football Expert), praised the team’s resilience and fighting spirit. He described the win as a bold statement of intent, adding that ISAGT are now firmly in contention for the trophy as the competition reaches its decisive stage.
However, Inspire’s senior side fell short later in the day. Playing at Inspire Arena Stadium, Inspire SA dominated possession against Dosu Joseph FC but struggled to break through their opponents’ disciplined defensive setup. In a tense and physical contest, Dosu Joseph FC held firm and secured the last semi-final ticket with a hard-fought victory.
Despite Inspire’s late push for an equalizer, Dosu Joseph’s composure and resilience ensured they crossed the finish line and advanced to the final four.
With the results confirmed, the semi-final lineup is now complete: Nath Boys FC, Ikorodu City, Inspire Feeders (ISAGT), and Dosu Joseph FC. Fans can expect a thrilling climax to the 2025 1XBET Cup as the competition enters its penultimate stage.
