Osimhen on five goals from 2 matches
The Napoli striker has bagged fives goals in two games of the AFCON 2023 Group A qualifiers after his goal saw Nigeria secure all points against Sierra Leone along with his four tonight in Agadir as the Super Eagles brushed Sao Tome & Principe aside.
Today's scoreline is Nigeria's biggest win ever in a competitive game and beats the previous record of a 10-1 win over Dahomey (Benin) recorded in 1959.
Commiserations today to Sao Tome and Principe who offered a decent display in the first 45 minutes but capitulated in the second half with the sheer class of the Super Eagles simply too much for the African minnows.
Group A table
This is how the Group A table looks currently with Sierra Leone-Guinea-Bissau set to be played later this evening. Super Eagles and the Djurtus both the nations expected to advance with the next games scheduled for September.
The 2023 AFCON starts next June in Ivory Coast.
A solid start for the Jose Peseiro era on the Nigeria bench as the Portuguese racks up two wins and 12 goals in his first two competitive matches in charge of the Super Eagles.
The next international action for the Super Eagles will be in September when they face Guinea-Bissau in a key clash that could determine the table topper in Group A.
