Osimhen, in outstanding form for Galatasaray this season, opened the scoring with a precise side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s expertly taken free kick.
The Eagles’ advantage was doubled when Osimhen showcased his exceptional skill, stealing the ball on the halfway line and deftly chipping it over the Rwanda goalkeeper.
This hard-fought win propels the three-time African champions to fourth place in their group, following South Africa’s 2-0 win over Lesotho. Coach Chelle’s squad will face Zimbabwe next Tuesday, aiming to build on this momentum.
With this convincing victory, the Super Eagles have revitalized their World Cup qualifying aspirations, and fans eagerly anticipate their upcoming match against Zimbabwe.
