Napoli-owned forward, Victor Osimhen, is now officially the second-highest goal scorer for the Super Eagles following his first-half brace against Rwanda, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Eagles attacker opened the scoreline for Eric Chelle's troops during their 2026 World Cup qualifying clash against the Wasps at the Amavubi Stadium.
