Oliseh Praises Frederick's Performance in Nigeria's 4-1 Win Against Gabon

Former Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh commended Benjamin Frederick for his solid performance in Nigeria's 4-1 victory over Gabon during the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff semi-final. Frederick, who made his sixth appearance for the Super Eagles, formed a strong defensive partnership with Calvin Bassey and helped in securing the win, with Victor Osimhen scoring Nigeria's third goal against Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Oliseh expressed his admiration for Frederick's influence on the team and highlighted the need to celebrate the victory before facing Congo in the next match. Frederick, who debuted against Jamaica, is establishing himself as a key player for the Super Eagles after his loan spell at Belgian club Dender and subsequent move to Brentford.
