Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has surpassed legendary striker Segun Odegbami on Nigeria’s all-time goal scorers with his two first half goals during Nigeria’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying game against Rwanda on Friday.
The Galatasaray striker was at the end of a lofty free kick from Ademola Lookman, turning the ball home with a perfect touch at the far post for Nigeria’s lead in the game.
He scored another goal few minutes to the conclusion of the first half.
With the goals, Osimhen has surpassed Odegbami’s record and moved to the second spot with 25 goals in Nigeria’s chart, and he is now chasing the late Rashidi Yekini’s record of 37 goals.
