• Goldberg, Others Celebrate Super Eagles’ Victory

True to his pre-match boast, Galatasary of Turkey striker, Victor Osimhen, rose to the occasion on Friday, scoring two goals in the first half to keep Nigeria’s World Cup dream alive.

The victory against the Amavubi of Rwanda in Kigali still leaves the Super Eagles in 4th Position in the group on six points, four behind leaders Bafana Bafana of South Africa who earlier defeated Lesotho 2-0. The Squirrels of Benin Republic, who drew 2-2 with Zimbabwe on Thursday, are in second position with eight points, while Rwanda are in third position with seven points.

Osimhen struck in the 11th minutes with a perfect shot off a freekick by Atalanta of Italy strongman, Ademola Lookman. He added the second goal in 45+3 by showcasing his brilliance, driving forward and slotting the ball past the goalkeeper effortlessly.

The victory against Rwanda was Coach Eric Chelle first assignment for the Super Eagles. Nigeria will host the Warriors of Zimbabwe in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Relebohile Mofokeng and Jayden Adamas scored as South Africa got the better of Lesotho in a 2-0 win at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Friday. The victory took South Africa to the top of Group C in CAF’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Bafana Bafana had to endure a frustrating first hour of the match. The teams will return to Group C action on Tuesday with South Africa away to Benin in neutral Abidjan, and Lesotho visiting Rwanda in Kigali.
