The Super Eagles put on a show in Uyo, dominating Benin Republic 4–0 to keep their World Cup dreams alive. Victor Osimhen was unstoppable, netting a hat-trick, while Frank Onyeka added a late strike to seal the win and the crowd’s energy matched the moment.
With this result, Nigeria moves into the CAF playoffs in November — the final hurdle before the big stage. Should the Super Eagles win their semi-final and final, they’ll advance to an interconfederation playoff in March 2026, facing a team from Asia, South America, Oceania, or Concacaf for Africa’s 10th and final World Cup spot. It’s a daunting path, but not an impossible one. Momentum, chemistry, and belief will be everything. 4 wins and Nigeria is in.
For Nigerian fans, this isn’t just football — it’s pride, resilience, and the story of a nation that refuses to give up.
