Defending Champions Beyond Limits Football Academy of Nigeria made a resounding statement at the 2026 Gothia Cup, dismantling Swedish side IF Brommapojkarna with a spectacular 7-0 victory at the SKF Arena on Tuesday.
The Group B17 tournament favorite got back to their lethal best, powered by a masterclass performance from forward Memud Olamillekan Frank, who walked away with the match ball after scoring a magnificent hat-trick.
The massive win catapulted the Ikenne-based academy back to the upper echelons of the newly structured 24-team Gothia Puma Trophy league phase.
Having been held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Peru’s Cantolao AD in their opening match, the Nigerian youth champions needed a dominant response—and they delivered exactly that.
Early Onslaught Sets the Tone
Beyond Limits wasted no time asserting their authority on the pitch. Just eight minutes into the encounter, Akpabio Mark found space in the box and clinically slotted the ball home to give the Nigerian side an early lead.
The Swedish hosts had barely caught their breath when, three minutes later, Olaniyo Precious Olanrenwaju doubled the advantage. The swift 2-0 cushion threw the traveling Nigerian supporters into absolute jubilation and completely rattled IF Brommapojkarna’s defensive line.
With the midfield engine coordinating beautiful pass sequences, Beyond Limits comfortably dictated the tempo and rhythm of the game.
The Memud Frank Show Begins
Despite creating multiple opportunities, the Nigerian academy had to wait until just before the halftime whistle to extend their lead further. In the 39th minute, Memud Olamillekan Frank registered his first of the afternoon with a composed finish.
The second half was even more ruthless. Ali Abdulazeez James made it 4-0 in the 45th minute, keeping the pressure firmly on the Swedes.
Frank then completely took over the spotlight. He bagged his second goal of the match in the 48th minute and completed his stunning hat-trick in the 55th minute to make it 6-0, leaving the IF Brommapojkarna goalkeeper with no answers.
With just one minute remaining in normal time, Oyeniran Peter Oluwatunmise capped off a perfect afternoon, sealing the emphatic 7-0 victory in the 59th minute.
