Osimhen outburst mars Nigeria’s AFCON win

Victor Osimhen’s emotional outburst overshadowed an otherwise emphatic night for Nigeria as the Super Eagles defeated Mozambique 4-0 to secure a place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals on Monday. The Round of 16 encounter, played at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, was largely one-sided, with Nigeria dominant from the opening exchanges. However, the spotlight shifted in the second half when Osimhen became involved in a heated exchange with teammate Ademola Lookman. The incident occurred in the 63rd minute with Nigeria already leading 3-0 and Osimhen on a hat-trick. Frustrated after not receiving a pass, the Galatasaray striker openly confronted Lookman and left-back Bruno Onyemaechi. The argument escalated quickly, prompting captain Wilfred Ndidi to step in, while Mozambique defender Reinildo Mandava and Nigeria’s Calvin Bassey also intervened to calm the situation. Moments later, Osimhen asked to be substituted and […]
