Osun United Edges Kun Khalifat 1-0

Posted : 03 June 2025

Osun United bounced back to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over table-toppers Kun Khalifat FC in a highly anticipated rescheduled Matchday 20 of the Nigeria National League at Ileogbo.

 

The Gladiators’ win came courtesy of Ebenezer Odeyemi’s clinical header in the 11th minute, which proved to be the difference-maker. The goal resulted from a perfectly weighted scissors kick by Nurudeen Abolude off Justice Nwogu’s long throw.

 

The first half was a tension-soaked affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. United should have taken the lead earlier through Justice Nwogu’s long-range strike, but the ball drifted wide of the goalpost in the 6th minute.

 

Despite the intense battle, Osun United’s 1-0 lead at halftime proved sufficient, thanks to Odeyemi’s well-taken goal. The second half was relatively quieter, with the away side pushing hard for an equalizer but unable to breach Asimiyu Bello’s goal. Kun Khalifat’s attempts to level the scores were valiant, but Osun United’s defense held firm.

 

With this win, Osun United reclaimed second place on the log with 33 points, while Kun Khalifat maintained their top spot. Head coach Seye Ajayi praised his players’ determination and grit, urging them to maintain their form as they aim to edge closer to the promotion playoffs.

 

However, the Gladiators still face a daunting challenge in their upcoming match against Gateway FC in Ijebu-Ode. Nonetheless, the win against Kun Khalifat has certainly given 'Believe and Achieve' a significant boost in confidence and momentum.
