2026 World Cup qualifier: Super Eagles beat Rwanda 2-0
The Super Eagles secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Rwanda on Friday to boost their FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.
Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 11th minute and doubled the lead just before halftime, giving Nigeria a comfortable advantage at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
The match marked the first game under new head coach Éric Chelle, the Franco-Malian tactician tasked with guiding the Super Eagles back to the global stage.
With these two goals, Osimhen has now surpassed the legendary Segun Odegbami on Nigeria’s all-time scorers list.
