2024/2025 NNL Match Day 9: Igbajo United secures first NNL win

Posted : 11 February 2025

The Nigeria National League (NNL) Matchday 9 concluded in thrilling fashion as Igbajo United FC made history by securing their first victory of the season, defeating Abia Comets FC 1-0 in a hard-fought encounter at Ile-Ogbo. This landmark win also marked Abia Comets’ first loss of the campaign.


The match began with Igbajo United applying relentless pressure, with several near misses from Babalola Mutiu, Rilwan Sadiq, and Kingsley Godwin. The team dominated possession and created multiple scoring opportunities, but the finishing touch remained elusive.


However, the breakthrough came in the 42nd minute when Rilwan Sadiq Alqurani rose above the defense to head home a precise corner kick delivered by Moshood Elewure, giving Igbajo United a crucial lead heading into halftime.


In the second half, Abia Comets pushed for an equalizer, coming close in the 58th minute when Cyril Shedrack’s long-range strike hit the woodwork.


The visitors continued to press, but Igbajo United’s resolute defense, marshaled by Ojo Oladiti, Olofe Ibukun, Rafiu Azeez, Kingsley Godwin, and Oladosu Matthias, held firm to secure all three points.


The victory lifts Igbajo United FC out of the relegation zone, placing them in 9th position ahead of Edel FC and 1472 FC.


With this momentum, the team now shifts focus to their Osun State FA Cup semi-final clash on Wednesday at Ejigbo Township Stadium, Osun State.
