Osun Babes boosted their chances of avoiding relegation with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Confluence Queens, thanks to a decisive strike from Precious Paul.

The encounter on Wednesday, April 8, at the Lanreleke Sports Complex, Ile-Ogbo, which kicked off at 4 p.m. under favourable weather conditions, was closely contested from the start. Confluence Queens displayed resilience and discipline throughout the game, matching the hosts in intensity and organisation.

With the season entering a crucial stage, the win comes as a timely relief for Osun Babes, who had endured a difficult run of form prior to the encounter. The hosts went into the match winless in their last five games but showed renewed determination to turn their fortunes around.

Despite the visitors’ spirited performance, it was Osun Babes who found the breakthrough, as Precious Paul delivered the match-winning goal to separate both sides.

The victory sees Osun Babes claim all three points in a fixture that could prove vital in their fight to remain in the league. It also restores confidence within the squad as they look to build momentum in the remaining matches of the season.

For Confluence Queens, the defeat is a setback despite a commendable display, as they failed to convert their efforts into a tangible result.

Osun Babes will now shift focus to their upcoming fixtures, knowing that they can compete further and secure top-flight status if they rediscover attacking sharpness and defensive focus.
