Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has surpassed legendary striker Segun Odegbami on Nigeria’s all-time goal scorers after netting his 24th goal for the country during Nigeria’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying game against Rwanda on Friday.
The Galatasaray striker was at the end of a lofty free kick from Ademola Lookman, turning the ball home with a perfect touch at the far post for Nigeria’s lead in the game.
With the goal, Osimhen moved to the second spot in Nigeria’s chart, and he is now chasing the late Rashidi Yekini’s record of 37 goals.
