Breaking: Osimhen Doubles Nigeria’s Lead Against Benin Republic

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has doubled Nigeria’s lead against Benin Republic in their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The Napoli forward struck in the 37th minute after a well-coordinated team move that left the Beninese defence exposed, extending Nigeria’s advantage and sending fans at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, into wild celebration.

Osimhen’s goal came after Nigeria’s opening strike earlier in the first half, as the Super Eagles continued to dominate possession and create scoring chances. His trademark pace and clinical finishing proved decisive once again, underlining his status as one of Africa’s most lethal forwards.

With the win now within reach, Nigeria will be looking to maintain their momentum and secure all three points to boost their standing in the World Cup qualifying campaign.

As the match progresses, all eyes remain on Osimhen and the Super Eagles to see if they can build on their impressive first-half performance and seal a convincing victory over their West African rivals.
