In a nail-biting finale, Nigeria’s Super Eagles have secured their place in the CAF World Cup qualification play-offs with a stunning and decisive 4-0 victory over neighbors Benin. The night belonged to Victor Osimhen, who delivered a spectacular hat-trick, showcasing the world-class talent that makes him a national hero.
The mission was clear: win by a significant margin. The team pushed relentlessly, and just as it seemed they might fall agonizingly short, Frank Onyeka unleashed a brilliant strike deep into injury time, sending the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium into absolute pandemonium. That crucial fourth goal was the key that unlocked their path forward.
This result is a dramatic turnaround for a campaign that began poorly, and it simultaneously ended the hopes of Benin, who arrived in Uyo at the top of the group. The focus now shifts to the play-offs, as the entire nation rallies behind the Super Eagles in their quest to book a ticket to the World Cup!
