On-loan Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, scored twice on Friday to revive Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico with a crucial victory over Rwanda’s Amavubi.
The Super Eagles started the match brightly, controlling proceedings from the outset.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 11th minute, converting Ademola Lookman’s free-kick.
The former Napoli forward doubled Nigeria’s lead three minutes into first-half injury time, finishing off a counterattack to silence the packed Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
