Victor Osimhen has continued to inch closer to the all-time goals record set by the legendary Rashidi Yekini as the Super Eagles stiker grabbed brace vs Rwanda.

Éric Sékou Chelle's tenure as Nigeria coach began with a first 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying appearance for Victor Osimhen, two goals for the striker, a clean sheet for the team, and a first win of the campaign, 2-0 vs. Rwanda, as the Super Eagles made a promising start on the road to redemption.

Victor Osimhen nets twice as Nigeria register their first victory in qualifying for the 2026 Fifa World Cup, while Algeria and Burkina Faso also win.
