The hosts, known for their high-intensity attacking play, broke the deadlock in the 35th minute through Sunday Megwo, putting the Solid Miners under early pressure.
However, Nasarawa United responded with determination, and just five minutes later, Idris Ajiya set up Mohammed, who slotted home confidently from close range.
