Osimhen is now just 5 goals away from Yekini’s all-time Nigeria record after his goal against Tunisia at the ongoing AFCON 2025.
Glamtush reports that Victor Osimhen’s header as Nigeria beat Tunisia means he is now only five goals behind the record held by the late Rashidi Yekini.
This online news platform recalls that Osimhen opened the scoring as the Super Eagles edged a 3-2 victory over Tunisia on Saturday.
Eric Chelle’s men are now through into the last 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, as it was their second consecutive win at the tournament.
Osimhen missed a few good chances in the first half, before heading home Ademola Lookman’s cross.
The goal is the 26-year-old’s 32nd for Nigeria.
It also puts the Galatasaray talisman nine clear of the legendary Segun Odegbami in third place.
