Aftermath of the Super Eagles victory against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone on Thursday evening, SSC Napoli of Italy striker Victor Osimhen hailed the spirit of the team in what was his first match under the watch of Jose Peseiro, Nigeria Soccernet can report.
It was indeed a hard-fought victory for the team who fell behind as early as the 11th minute but a quick response from the players ensured the visitors did not get to settle down on the goal as Iwobi equalised just five minutes after.
Osimhen who then ensured the maximum points was picked when he scored the winner in the 41st minute wrote on his twitter page after the win saying: "Good Team Spirit. Up Next São Tomé??“
Osimhen have now scored 11 goals in 22 appearances for Nigeria while also contributing 6 assists in the process.
He is expected to lead the line when Nigeria visits São Tomé next Monday.
