Troost-Ekong Praises Osimhen and Lookman After Super Eagles’ Win Over Rwanda
Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has praised Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman after their impressive performance in Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Rwanda in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Osimhen was the hero of the night, scoring both goals at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday. Lookman, recently named Africa’s best player, also played a key role by providing an assist.
Troost-Ekong, who plays for Al Kholood in Saudi Arabia, described Osimhen and Lookman as two of the best players in the world. He highlighted their contributions but emphasized the importance of the team effort.
“Victor Osimhen is an incredible player. I believe he’s one of the best in the world, alongside Ademola Lookman, who’s Africa’s best player. But I don’t want to focus on just them,” Troost-Ekong said.
“It was a collective effort. We had Tolu (Arokodare) making his debut, and Alhassan Yusuf had to play out of position, but the team spirit was there, and that made the difference.”
The victory marked the Super Eagles’ first win in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and their first triumph over Rwanda in Kigali after four previous attempts.
Troost-Ekong admitted that it was a tough game but credited the team’s hard work and preparation.
“Playing Rwanda is never easy. We’ve faced them a few times, and they’re a team we respect,” he said. “We had only two or three full training sessions and a lot of video analysis. But today, you could see signs of what to expect under coach Eric Chelle.”
Nigerian player, Alex Iwobi has reportedly lost valuables worth £500,000 after his home was robbed.
It can be recalled that the footballer’s home was robbed while the player was there and he was held at a knife point by the robbers during this.
It was noted that they took his gadgets and other valuables worth that amount, £500,000.
Authorities have begun investigating the incident to track down suspects.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen makes headline as he gets criticized for buying a 3 billion mansion in Lagos.
While some fans were in awe of the mansion and the money he makes from football, content creators reacted and shared their kind.
Some of the public shared how he should have invested the money rather than buying a mansion.
Many shared their thoughts on it being a waste. Some also advised that he sells it now.
Football legend, Paul Merson shares his claims that Arsenal will win the Premier League this season.
It can be noted that the club winning streak came to an end after their match against Manchester City, with the match ending in a 2-0 defeat.
He spoke on the match “Man City turned up in the second half of the Carabao Cup final and absolutely gave Arsenal a footballing lesson at the highest level.
“But watching that game and that second half, I don’t see Arsenal winning anything else but the Premier League.
“Man City are still in the FA Cup. Watching that game, you’d be shocked if Arsenal went back to Wembley and beat them.”
