Osimehn netted twice in Kigali

Nigeria boosted their 2026 World Cup qualifying hopes with a 2-0 win over Rwanda on Friday night, marking a successful debut for new head coach, Eric Chelle.

Victor Osimhen, in fine form this season for Galatasaray, delivered a first-half brace to secure the victory.

The prolific striker opened the scoring with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s well-placed free-kick.

He then doubled Nigeria’s lead after winning the ball at the halfway line and chipping it over the goalkeeper.

The three-time African champions now move up to third place in Group C, following South Africa’s 2-0 win over Lesotho.

Chelle’s men will face Zimbabwe on Monday as they continue their quest for World Cup qualification.
