1xCup 2025 quarter-finals: fever pitch, comeback, and transformation
The hot matches played on September 23 and 24 determined the four semi-finalists of Nigeria’s biggest amateur football tournament. Who will reach the final and who will become the champions? You can still give the correct answer and place a winning bet on the 1xCup 2025 on the 1xBet platform!
Quarter-finals
Nath Boys FA vs Emaljus FC – 0-0, 7-6 on penalties
It was a classic knockout match in which caution prevailed over risk. In regular time, neither side made a single mistake in defense, and in the penalty shootout, each team flawlessly converted 6 consecutive kicks. However, someone had to miss, and in the end, it was an Emaljus FC player who failed. Nath Boys FA, who in the group stage seemed to follow the Brazilian principle of “you score as many goals as you can, and we’ll score as many as we want”, showed true pragmatism in their first knockout game and defeated the third-place finishers of the 1xCup 2024.
Ikorodu City FA vs Community Gunners FC – 2-0
The designated home team defended excellently in the group stage (1 goal conceded in 4 matches) and maintained this skill in the knockout stage, stifling the attack of the 1xCup 2024 runners-up. Ikorodu City also made effective use of wing attacks and scored 2 goals in the first half.
It was the most emotionally charged game of the tournament. Community Gunners fans were too passionate about their team. After one of their players was sent off at the start of the second half, the fans became so violent that it was impossible to continue the match. As a result, Gunners withdrew from the tournament, and the most aggressive fans were taken out of the stadium. Ikorodu City were awarded a victory, which was well deserved based on their performance.
We understand that emotions are an integral part of football. However,
1xBet insists that the game should be played responsibly, not only on the platform but also in real life. We urge fans to treat their teams and other people in the stands with respect and not to forget about safety measures.
ISGAT vs Vinmo Energy FA – 2-1
The designated home side conceded a goal in the 2nd minute due to a ridiculous mistake, but ultimately became the only team to make a comeback in the quarter-finals. ISGAT transformed in the second half and scored 2 goals in three minutes, with the assists in both cases being more beautiful than the goals.
Inspire Sports Academy vs Dosu Joseph FC – 0-1
In this game with a large number of dangerous attacks, only one goal was scored – luck smiled on the designated visitors in the 72nd minute. ISA were one of the most impressive teams in the group stage, but eventually became the only winners of their group that didn’t make it to the semi-finals. At the same time, Dosu Joseph, who started with two defeats, are writing a beautiful story about will power.
What next?
The semi-finals will be played on September 30:
Nath Boys FA vs Ikorodu City FA
ISGAT vs Dosu Joseph FC
Compared to the 1xCup 2024, the participants in this stage are completely different.
