OSIMHEN’S DOUBLE BLASTS NIGERIA PAST MOZAMBIQUE: JUST 3 GOALS FROM YEKINI RECORD

Super Eagles soar, Victor Osimhen’s 25th/47th-min brace powered a 4-0 Round 16 demolition of Mozambique at Fès’ Complexe Sportif, edging him to 34 int’l goals (3 shy of Rashidi Yekini’s 37-record from ’98).

Lookman and Akor Adams rounded it off; Osimhen’s 50th cap cemented legacy (tapped Adams assist first, Lookman pass second). Subbed 63rd after brief Lookman dust-up.

Hot streak since March ’25: 9 in 10 Eagles games, passed Odegbami for #2 all-time. AFCON 2025? 3 goals, joint second. But Osimhen shrugs records: “Team first—goals/assists for that 4th title.”

Quarters: Algeria or DR Congo Saturday. History beckons.
