After a 1-0 in the last matchday against button side in their group Dream Soccer Academy, Tiko United FC traveled to Buea, where they faced ATESS FA at the Molyko Omnisport Stadium, on April 15th 2023 in Matchday 7 of the championship.
Tiko United FC almost had a lead at the 24th minute, through Nyah Clinton but he saw his effort go over the woodwork, an act which got fans on their feet to celebrate the goal that was never scored.

The deadlock will be broken at the 72nd minute of play when a cross from Nyah Clinton found the waiting head of Prince Iko Kemielayea to give the Samba Boys the lead.
One soon became two, when team Captain Ekene Livinus after a beautiful footwork in the ATESS penalty area beat goalkeeper Tah Glows to put the game beyond the reach of ATESS FA who have played five matches, won two and lost three with a game in hand against Best Stars Academy, who are taking part in the Easter Cup.
