Anthony Encho's side could have cemented the match at the before 75th minute but lost three chances form the boots of Dauda Olalere.
However, the homers got the winning goal from Yussuf Taiye at the 88th minute after connecting well Abdulrafiu Taiwo cross 
Speaking to OyoSportsNews, debutant goal scorer, Oluwaseyi Okeowo said: "This is the moment I've been waiting for, if you remembered very well - I scored against Crown FC last season at Abeokuta when I was with Gateway United and to have scored for them on my debut - it means a lot to me and my career. Also, Ijebu United head coach was my former boss at Gateway, so I was so happy to score this evening."
