On Friday evening, Victor Osimhen, the Galatasaray striker, overtook the legendary Segun Odegbami in the list of Nigeria’s all-time top scorers.

This follows his goal in the 11th minute of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali.

Osimhen came into the match level with Odegbami on 23 goals.

But the Napoli loanee put the ball in the next following a free-kick cross from Ademola Lookman early in the game.
