Nigeria coach Eric Chelle was full of admiration for his players following their emphatic 4–0 win over Benin Republic in Uyo on Tuesday, describing Victor Osimhen as “the best striker in the world” after the forward’s hat-trick sealed the Super Eagles’ place in the CAF Playoff Tournament for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
A Victor Osimhen hat-trick and a thunderous strike from substitute Frank Onyeka ensured a resounding win for the three-time African champions at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. The result means Nigeria will now compete in the four-nation playoff in Morocco next month for a chance to reach the intercontinental stage of qualification.
