Victor Osimhen’s remarkable performance propelled Nigeria to a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Kigali. This win marks the Super Eagles’ first in the current qualifying campaign, revitalizing their aspirations for World Cup participation.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 11th minute, skillfully converting Ademola Lookman’s precise free-kick. He doubled the lead just before halftime, showcasing his agility and composure by outmaneuvering a defender and deftly chipping the ball over the advancing goalkeeper.
This brace elevates Osimhen’s international goal tally to 25, surpassing Segun Odegbami’s 23 goals and positioning him as Nigeria’s second-highest all-time scorer, trailing only the legendary Rashidi Yekini, who amassed 37 goals.
The victory also signifies a positive start for Nigeria’s new coach, Éric Sékou Chelle, who assumed leadership in January. Under his guidance, the team exhibited tactical discipline and offensive prowess, attributes that will be crucial in their ongoing quest for World Cup qualification.
Looking ahead, Nigeria aims to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures, striving to secure a coveted spot in the 2026 World Cup.
