The Department of Political Science delivered a resounding statement of intent as they cruised past their Archaeology and Anthropology counterparts with a dominant 5–0 victory to book their place in the knockout stage of the SEALS Cup.
Both teams came into the decisive group stage encounter level on three points, and knowing that only a win would secure qualification. But from the first whistle, it was clear that POS meant business.
The breakthrough came early, as Oba’s well-struck free kick bounced off the post and into the net to hand POS an early lead. The midfield trio then took control of the game, dictating tempo and leaving their opponents dazed.
Soon after, Bright capitalized on a surging run down the flank by Tobi to double the advantage. The relentless pressure paid off again as Oba grabbed his second of the day, finishing off a team move to give POS a commanding 3–0 lead going into the break.
Archaeology and Anthropology had no answers in the second half, and things went from bad to worse. Stanley added two more goals to seal the victory and round off a clinical performance from Political Science.
It was a quiet day for the POS defenders, who stood firm throughout and ensured their opponents barely registered a clear attacking threat.
With this emphatic win, Political Science not only advance to the knockout stage but also send a strong message to the rest of the competition. Eyes now turn to their next fixture as they edge closer to SEALS Cup glory.
