AFCON 2025 qualifier: We got revenge against Benin Republic – Osimhen
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has said he was happy that Nigeria got ‘revenge’ against Benin Republic..
Osimhen spoke while reflecting on Nigeria’s 3-0 win against Gernot Rohr’s side in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash on Saturday.
A goal from Osimhen and a brace from Ademola Lookman gave the Super Eagles the victory over Benin.
Before the game, Nigeria had lost 2-1 against Benin Republic in the World Cup qualifier back in June under former coach Finidi George.
“It was really a big game for us; it was a statement win because our performance has been so low in the past couple of games, compared to the talent that we have got in the team,” Osimhen told Counter Attack Podcast.
“The last time we met our opponent [Benin], they defeated us so it was also like revenge and I’m happy; we gave our all and got the three points.”
