Victor Osimhen Nears Rashidi Yekini's Record with Hat-Trick in Nigeria's 4-0 Win
Victor Osimhen's impressive performance in Nigeria's 4-0 win against Benin Republic has brought him closer to Rashidi Yekini's goal-scoring record. Osimhen scored a hat-trick in the 2026 FIFA match, increasing his tally to 29 goals in 42 matches.
The victory secured Nigeria's spot in the playoffs for the World Cup. Osimhen's achievement is reminiscent of legendary Nigerian winger Mathemat's prolific scoring record in the 1970s and 1980s.
