Irish vs Dibba (0-7)
Dibba produced a stunning display, demolishing Irish 7-0 in a commanding performance. Zayed Ebraheim and Ahmed Nabil were the stars, with Ebraheim bagging a brace and Nabil netting a hat-trick. Irish had no answer to Dibba’s relentless attacking play, and despite their best efforts, they couldn’t stop Stanley Ogoh from adding another goal in a rout that left them reeling.

365 vs Emerald (5-1)
365 displayed their attacking prowess with a comprehensive 5-1 win over Emerald. After a fairly slow start, 365 broke the deadlock through Richie Kwabena, who scored two goals in quick succession. Martim Pedro and David Mark also found the back of the net, solidifying 365’s control. Although Emerald’s Edson Armando managed to pull one back, the match was already out of their grasp.

Sport Support vs Al Ethihad (1-1)
A closely contested game saw Sport Support and Al Ethihad settle for a 1-1 draw. Lord Egbe Etchi’s first-half goal gave Al Ethihad the lead, but Charlie Mwamba’s equalizer in the second half ensured Sport Support salvaged a point. The match was intense, with yellow cards flying early on, but neither team managed to break the deadlock beyond those two goals.

AFC vs TFA (1-3)
One of the standout fixtures from the Third Division League Week 3 results was TFA’s 3-1 victory over AFC. Anthony Osei opened the scoring early for TFA, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Eden Cobbena and Yonatan Andres added further goals for TFA, securing the victory despite a late goal from AFC’s Bel Jean. TFA’s dominance throughout the match was evident as they dictated the tempo and controlled the majority of possession.

City vs Al Hilal United (0-0)
City and Al Hilal United battled to a hard-fought 0-0 draw. The match was a physical encounter with multiple yellow cards handed out on both sides. Neither team could find the breakthrough, with strong defensive efforts on display. Al Hilal’s midfield managed to disrupt City’s play, but a lack of finishing quality from both sides meant the match ended without a goal.

Sporting vs United (0-1)
United secured a narrow 1-0 win over Sporting, with Ivan Lopis scoring the match’s only goal in the 37th minute. The match saw several yellow cards as both teams fought hard in midfield, but United’s defence held firm to ensure Lopis’ goal was enough for the win. Sporting struggled to create clear-cut chances, and United’s disciplined performance earned them all three points.

United Sports vs Liver Sport (1-2)
United Sports started well, with Ahmed Badr scoring in the 18th minute, but Liver Sport mounted a late comeback to snatch victory. Azeem levelled the score in the 84th minute, and Pouya’s stoppage-time winner completed the turnaround, sealing a dramatic 2-1 win. United Sports were left stunned, having controlled much of the match but failing to hold onto their lead.

Sporty FC vs Gulf United (0-5)
Gulf United delivered a clinical performance, crushing Sporty FC 5-0. Miracle Nwoagu was the standout performer, scoring a hat-trick in a dominant display. Jeremiah Shamar and Ashiru Shuaibu also added their names to the scoresheet, as Gulf United outplayed Sporty FC from start to finish.
