Nigeria’s Super Eagles boosted their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda on Friday.
This win marked the team’s first game under new head coach Eric Chelle.
Victor Osimhen scored a brace in the first half to continue his impressive goal-scoring form.
Truth Live News reports that he opened the scoring with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s free-kick and doubled the lead by stealing the ball and skillfully dinking it over the goalkeeper.
The win propelled the Super Eagles to third place in their group, following South Africa’s 2-0 win over Lesotho.
Next, the team will face Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
