2024/2025 NNL Super 8 Playoffs Review: Omoluabi Stars Get Playoff Boost

Posted : 06 July 2025

Osun United began their crucial playoff campaign on a high note, edging Warri Wolves 1-0 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, courtesy of a stunning goal by Ebenezer Odeyemi just before halftime.

 

The first half was tightly contested, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. Warri Wolves had two clear chances from open play, but their efforts failed to hit the target.

 

Just before the break, Ebenezer Odeyemi broke the deadlock with a composed finish after brilliant control on the edge of the opponent’s area, giving Osun United a vital lead going into the second half.

 

The second half saw more intensity from Warri Wolves, who pressed hard for an equalizer.

 

However, Osun United’s defense, marshaled by Gabriel Lekan and Afolabi Olatubosun, stood firm against the relentless Wolves attack.

 

At the hour mark, fullback Taiwo Adeboye made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Warri Wolves a sure equalizer, after goalkeeper Ayo Ojo was beaten by a swift counterattack.

 

Despite mounting pressure from Warri Wolves, Osun United’s backline remained resolute. Substitute Sunday Oloche, who replaced Rasheed Adam, had a golden opportunity to double the lead but was denied by a sharp intervention from the Warri Wolves goalkeeper.

 

Ayo Ojo was called into action several times in goal for Osun United, but his brilliance—combined with Gabriel Lekan's defensive solidity—ensured maximum points for Coach Seye Ajayi’s side.

 

Coach Ajayi praised his players for their grit and determination, emphasizing the need for more focus and hunger as they prepare to face Crown FC, who had earlier lost to Kun Khalifat by a lone goal.

 

With the Nigeria National League Super 8 playoffs underway, the action is heating up, and Osun United will look to build on their momentum in the next match.

 

The win over Warri Wolves has given The Gladiators a crucial boost, and they will be eager to maintain their form in the upcoming fixtures.
