Osun United clinched a 1-0 victory over Solution FC in a thrilling encounter that saw Ganiyu Gberefun score the only goal of the match in an NNL encourage, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The decisive moment came in the 6th minute when Gberefun confidently converted a penalty kick to give Seye Ajayi tutored side the needed victory.

 The penalty came after a foul inside the box is spotted when Lekan Gabriel 's goal bound header is blocked by opponents defender's hand and Gberefun's calm finish left the goalkeeper with no chance.

Despite dominating possession, Osun United failed to add to their lead in the first half, with Ebenezer Odeyemi coming agonizingly close to doubling the advantage. 

At half-hour mark, Odeyemi met a cross with a powerful header, but his effort crashed off the woodwork, leaving the players and supporters in disbelief as the ball bounced harmlessly away.

The second half proved to be a quieter affair as both sides struggled to break the deadlock. Solution FC failed to capitalize on any opportunities, and Osun United couldn't find the back of the net again, as Odeyemi once again denied from the edge of opponents yard at the death.

 Although the game remained goalless in the second half, Osun United's defense held firm to preserve their slender lead and claim all three points.

With this victory, Osun United finished the first half of the league season on a high, as Gberefun extended his goal tally to seven for the campaign.
