Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen faced potential consequences following a heated on-field altercation with teammate Ademola Lookman during Nigeria's AFCON 2025 match against Mozambique. The incident occurred in the second half of the game, with Osimhen signaling to be substituted after a tense exchange of words with Lookman.

Coach Eric Chelle responded by introducing Paul Onuachu. Osimhen, who had already scored three goals in the tournament, appeared frustrated, leading to tension within the team.
