Victor Osimhen was on fire in Uyo as he netted a stunning hat-trick to lead Nigeria to a 4-0 win over Benin in Tuesday's 2026 World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium to ensure that Softfootballs win prediction in the pregame analysis for the Super Eagles was spot on.
The Galatasaray forward didn't waste time just three minutes in, he latched onto a clever ball from Samuel Chukwueze and slotted home with his trademark calmness. He added another in the 37th minute, showing great awareness in the box, before completing his hat-trick early in the second half with a powerful header from Moses Simon's assist.
It was vintage Osimhen. Full of pace, power, and that unrelenting hunger that lifts the entire team. His goals took his season tally to six, with one assist, combining both club and country duties, and this isnt his first heroics, as he earlier netted the winner in Galatasarays 1-nil victory over Liverpool.
