Osun United winger Naheem Odugbemi scored his first league goal in emotional fashion, dedicating the strike to his late father in their Nigeria National League win over Godswill Akpabio FC.
Odugbemi's powerful second-half goal sealed a 2-0 victory for the Gladiators, ending the team's recent winless run. The opener had come in the 20th minute through Samuel Udor, who stepped up in place of the injured Emmanuel Essien.
Naheem’s goal, a long-range effort that left fans in awe, proved to be the standout moment of the match. Speaking after the game, the pacy winger described the goal as a dream come true and a personal tribute to his late dad.
The win is a vital boost for Coach Seye Ajayi’s side, as they aim to stay firmly in the playoff race. Osun United now turn their focus to Saturday’s clash against ABS FC in Ilorin, with Naheem’s rising form and the team’s renewed confidence providing a solid foundation.
