Osun United are the 8th team to qualify for the Nigeria National League Super Eight tournament after winning their last match of the season on Saturday, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.
Osun United delivered a commanding performance to secure a 3-1 victory over First Bank FC in the season finale, earning a coveted spot in the Super 8 promotion playoff.
Ganiyu Gberefun opened the score in the second minute after a hard tackle on Emmanuel Essien before Essien doubled the lead with a stunning long-range strike that beat Nurudeen Lateef in goal.
Gberefun completed his brace and tenth goal of the season, 14 minutes from time, to consolidate the lead.
First Bank FC managed to salvage some pride with a consolation goal in the third minute of four additional minutes, but it was too little, too late.
Osun United joins Crown FC, Kun Khalifa FC, Doma FC, Barau FC, Wikki Tourist, Yobe Desert Stars, and Warri Wolves to jostle for the four slots in next season's Nigeria Premier Football League.
