Victor Osimhen stole the spotlight once again with a brilliant goal in Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Republic of Benin.
The Galatasaray forward, coming off a brace for his Istanbul club, reminded home fans of his impressive talent as he scored a stunning header to bring Nigeria level in the encounter.
The 25-year-old, having missed a big chance in the first half, made amends with a perfectly timed header that sailed effortlessly past the goalkeeper.
Despite Benin’s tight defensive setup, Osimhen rose to meet a well-placed cross from Moses Simon, securing Nigeria’s top spot in the group and further solidifying their already-confirmed qualification.
