Osimhen scores within six minutes of introduction against Benin Republic

New Galatasaray player Victor Oshimen doubled the Super Eagles' lead against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The current African Player of the Year had only six minutes to record his name on the scoresheet as he extended Nigeria's advantage after being introduced in the 72nd minute.

Wilfred Ndidi provided Osimhen with the assist, and the 25-year-old former Lille man scored with an unbelievable acrobatic finish to bag his 22nd goal for the Super Eagles.
