Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has sent an emotional message to Nigerian fans across the world following Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen was on the scoresheet as Nigeria booked a place in the semi-finals, with Akor Adams also finding the net in Saturday’s encounter.
The Galatasaray forward took to social media after the match, posting a video on X in which he thanked supporters for their backing throughout the tournament.
Osimhen admitted the win was hard-fought and expressed hope that Eric Chelle’s side can go all the way and lift the AFCON trophy.
“Hello Super Eagles fans worldwide, thank you for your support. This victory against Algeria wasn’t easy,” Osimhen said, via PoojaMedia.
“I’m happy that the team got the win against Algeria. We’ll continue to build on this momentum, and hopefully, we’ll get to the AFCON final and win the trophy.”
Osimhen has now scored four goals at the tournament and sits one goal behind Morocco forward Brahim Diaz in the race for the Golden Boot.
