Ekiti United FC brought their home campaign in the 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) to a memorable close, coming from behind to defeat Rovers FC 3–1 at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado Ekiti.

In a contest that tested their resolve, the BAO Boys showed character and composure to overturn an early setback and deliver yet another commanding performance in front of their home supporters.

Rovers FC stunned the hosts in the 33rd minute, taking the lead against the run of play. However, the response from Ekiti United was swift and emphatic, as Damilola Adeyeye restored parity just a minute later to ensure both sides went into the break level at 1–1.

The second half saw Ekiti United assert greater control, dictating the tempo and pushing forward with intent. Their persistence paid off in the 56th minute when Majeeb Issah fired them into the lead, capitalising on sustained attacking pressure.

Despite efforts from Rovers FC to get back into the game, Ekiti United’s defensive organisation stood firm, frustrating the visitors’ advances. The victory was put beyond doubt in the 75th minute when Segun Ajenghele found the net to cap a clinical team performance.

The result not only secured all three points but also confirmed Ekiti United’s flawless home record for the season, underlining their dominance on familiar turf. It also extended their impressive unbeaten run, further boosting confidence within the squad.

Speaking after the match, the Head Coach commended his players for their consistency and resilience throughout the campaign, while also acknowledging the backing of the Ekiti State Government and Dr. Mrs. Olusola Osetoba.

The victory served as a fitting farewell to the home fans, who have played a vital role in the team’s success this season.

This impressive comeback victory cements Ekiti United's reputation as a powerhouse at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium. By maintaining a perfect home record, the BAO Boys have demonstrated the level of consistency required for a successful NNL campaign. The team now looks ahead to their remaining fixtures with the momentum of a side that refused to be beaten on their own soil.
