Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, scored two goals to surpass Segun Odegbami’s record in Nigeria’s all-time top scorers, leading the senior national team to a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers held today in Kigali.

The Nigerian international grabbed his 24th goal for Nigeria in the 11th minute when he converted Ademola Lookman’s well-delivered freekick.

With his goals, the Galatasaray star has now surpassed Odegbami’s tally of 23 goals for the senior national team. Osimhen scored both of his goals just before halftime, securing a comfortable victory for the Super Eagles in Kigali.

With the goals, Osimhen has surpassed Odegbami’s record and moved to the second spot with 25 goals in Nigeria’s chart, and he is now chasing the late Rashidi Yekini’s record of 37 goals.
