Osimhen wins Man of the Match After beating Cote d'Ivoire
The 25-year-old was involved in the fiercely contested match until the 88th minute.
The Man of the Match accolade was bestowed upon Victor Osimhen in recognition of the Super Eagles' arduous 1-0 triumph over Cote d'Ivoire on Thursday at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium in Ebimpe, Abidjan.
An opportunity for Osimhen to give Nigeria an early lead in the contest was squandered.
The penalty, which was converted by center-back William Troost-Ekong for the second goal, was gained by the Napoli forward.
The 25-year-old was involved in the fiercely contested match until the 88th minute.
Two minutes from time, Trabzonspor's Paul Onuachu entered the pitch in place of the striker.
Next Tuesday, the Super Eagles will finish their group play against the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau.
