The Galatasaray striker scored both goals, marking Nigeria’s first win in the qualifiers and revitalizing their hopes for World Cup qualification.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 11th minute, converting a well-placed free-kick from Ademola Lookman. He doubled the lead just before halftime, showcasing his agility and precision by outpacing a defender and chipping the ball over the Rwandan goalkeeper.
