Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, scored four goals as the Super Eagles spanked Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on Monday.

Victor Osimhen’s four goals, Terem Moffi’s brace and goals from Moses Simon, Peter Etebo, Ademola Lookman, and Emmanuel Dennis completed the obliteration at the Stade Adrar in Morocco.

 

The Super Eagles began the match on a bright note by dominating ball possession, however, they were unable to get their rhythm in attack at first.

They eventually got their act straight when the Napoli star opened the scoring after heading Simon’s cross past goalkeeper Anastacio Braganca nine minutes in.

 

Seven minutes later, Jose Peseiro’s side got their second goal after man-of-the-match Osimhen had set up Nantes man Moses from close range.

 

In the goal-laden first half, Nigeria raced to a three-goal lead two minutes before the half-time break thanks to Moffi’s first international effort.

 

After he was set up by Osimhen – who sprinted through Sao Tome’s goal area – the France-based striker cut past Ivonaldo before firing past a stranded Braganca.

 

Despite their commanding lead, the Super Eagles continued their push for more goals and that paid off in the 48th minute with Lookman supplying the last pass for Osimhen’s second.

 

The harvest of goals continued five minutes before the hour mark after England-based Etebo curled home a beautiful free-kick that was unstoppable for the goalie.

 

Moffi completed his brace five minutes later by poking home a cross from Zaidu Sanusi.

 

Former England youth international Lookman opened his Nigeria account after capitalising on a mistake by the Sao Tome and Principe goalkeeper before Osimhen wrapped up the game with his third and fourth goals while Dennis netted from the penalty mark to put the cherry on the cake.

 

Nigeria now lead Group A with six points from two matches, while the Central Africans remain at the base of the log with no points.

 

The Super Eagles continue their campaign against Guinea-Bissau in September.
