AFCON Drama: Osimhen Booed After Clash with Lookman Leads to Substitution Request

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen faced backlash from fans after asking coach Eric Chelle to substitute him due to a heated exchange with Ademola Lookman during the AFCON match against Mozambique. Osimhen scored three goals in the game, with Lookman providing an assist for one of them.

The incident led to Osimhen shouting at Lookman for not passing the ball, prompting his substitution for Paul Onuachu. The clash occurred during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations last 16 fixture.
