Victor Osimhen reacts to Super Eagles’ dominant win over Egypt’s Pharaohs

The Napoli striker watched proceedings from home and was impressed with the performance put up by his compatriots

Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen has hailed the Super Eagles for their fantastic display that secured a well-deserved 1-0 victory over Egypt at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua on Tuesday afternoon. 

Osimhen, the national team’s leading goalscorer during the Afcon and World Cup qualifiers, saw the game on TV after injury ruled him out of his second appearance at the Afcon.

Two of Nigeria’s most reliable strikers in Genk’s prolific hitman Paul Onuachu and Al Shabab’s Odion Ighalo also missed the Super Eagles’ party to Cameroon due to a variety of reasons.

But it mattered little, though, as the three-time continental champions put their shoddy preparations behind them to produce a dominant showing against a Mohamed Salah-captained Egypt.

Kelechi Iheanacho got the winning goal – the Leicester City striker hammered a half-volley into the top corner on the half-hour mark – to get their quest for a fourth Afcon title to a perfect start.

Osimhen took to his Twitter account to congratulate his international teammates while urging them to get more wins.

“Congratulations guys, amazing performance. We continue to build on this momentum,” the former Lille lad wrote.

Nigeria will next face Sudan on January 15, with a win enough to guarantee their place in the knockout rounds.
