By Elijah Anuoluwapo Olusegun (240912145)


 The Social Work Department emerged champions of the Freshers' Year One Cup after defeating the Mass Communication Department in a tense penalty shootout in the final match of the tournament.

The encounter, played with high intensity, saw Social Work take the lead in the first half with a well-taken goal that put them 1–0 ahead. However, Mass Communication responded before the halftime whistle, restoring parity and ending the first half at 1–1.

Mass Communication returned stronger in the second half and took the lead through a composed finish, making it 2–1 and raising hopes of lifting the trophy. Social Work however showed resilience and equalised later in the second half to force the match into a penalty shootout.

Earlier in the match, Mass Communication’s goals were scored by Elian who netted the equaliser in the first half and Ayo, whose second-half strike briefly put his department in front.

The penalty shootout ultimately favoured the Social Work Department, who converted their chances to clinch the title, bringing an emotional end to an entertaining Freshers’ Year One Cup final.

Despite the loss, Mass Communication earned praise for their fighting spirit and impressive performance throughout the competition.
