Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has heaped praise on Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman following Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Rwanda in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Osimhen’s clinical first-half brace secured the Super Eagles’ first win in the qualification campaign, while Lookman—crowned Africa’s Best Player—provided a crucial assist in the match at the Amahoro Stadium, Kigali.
Speaking after the game, Troost-Ekong hailed both players as world-class talents but emphasized that the victory was a team effort. He commended debutant Tolu Arokodare and other squad members for stepping up and executing coach Eric Chelle’s tactics despite limited preparation time.
The victory also marked Nigeria’s first-ever win in Kigali after four attempts, reinforcing their revived push for World Cup qualification. With momentum on their side, the Super Eagles now set their sights on their upcoming fixture against Zimbabwe.
