Nigeria add their third of the night, and this time it’s their most-beloved Osimhen who finds the net.
The #9 taps home from less than five yards out, latching onto a squared pass from Lookman, who danced into the box from the left, getting the better of a bunch of defenders.
That’s Osimhen’s second goal of the game, and Lookman’s sixth goal involvement of the tournament!
