Osimhen on Fire as Nigeria Claim Crucial Win vs Rwanda
Nigeria have finally got their first win in the World Cup qualifiers — and it’s all thanks to Victor Osimhen.
The striker scored twice in the first half to sink Rwanda 2-0 in Kigali, ending a four-game winless run and reviving hopes for a 2026 World Cup spot.
New boss Éric Chelle had a perfect start, fielding a strong side with Iwobi, Ndidi, and Lookman all putting in solid shifts.
Despite Rwanda dominating possession, Nigeria were more dangerous — and Osimhen was clinical.
FT: Rwanda 0-2 Nigeria
Nigeria now just 1 point behind Rwanda in Group C.
