Smash FC 1 vs 0 G-13 Falcons FC

On 31 January 2026, G-13 Falcons FC travelled to Racecourse Park Rawalpindi to face Smash FC in a friendly away fixture, kicking off at 12:35pm. The match concluded with the Falcons narrowly losing 1-0 after a closely contested 90 minutes.

Deploying a 4-3-3 formation, G-13 Falcons FC lined up with M Naseer in goal, providing the last line of defence. The back four consisted of Hamad Masair at right back, Anees Mushtaq and Awais Ahmed as central defenders, and Rehman Khan covering the left flank. In midfield, Fahad Zafar operated on the right, Imran Gondal held the central midfield role, while Muhammad Zaid Khan took up the left midfield position. The attacking trio featured Hassan on the right wing, Ayyaan Khan leading the line as striker, and Harris Khan on the left forward position. This setup was designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking width and creativity, expecting the midfield three to link play effectively and the front three to stretch the opposition defence. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The first half saw both sides probing cautiously, with the Falcons maintaining a disciplined shape but unable to break down Smash FC’s defensive organisation. The half-time whistle arrived with the scoreline still goalless, reflecting a tight and tactical opening 45 minutes.

In the second half, the intensity increased as both teams sought to find a breakthrough. However, it was Smash FC who managed to capitalise on a close-range opportunity in the 75th minute, scoring the only goal of the match. Despite G-13 Falcons FC’s efforts to respond, including attempts to utilise their wide forwards Hassan and Harris Khan to create chances, they were unable to find an equaliser.

Throughout the match, the Falcons’ defensive line, marshalled by central defenders Anees Mushtaq and Awais Ahmed, worked hard to contain Smash FC’s attacks, while goalkeeper M Naseer was called upon to make several saves to keep the scoreline respectable. Midfielders Fahad Zafar, Imran Gondal, and Muhammad Zaid Khan endeavoured to control possession and supply the front three, but the final ball often lacked the cutting edge needed to unlock the opposition defence.

The 4-3-3 formation allowed G-13 Falcons FC to maintain width and pressing intensity, but ultimately, the solitary goal conceded proved decisive. The narrow defeat at Racecourse Park Rawalpindi will offer valuable lessons for the Falcons as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
