Asisat Oshoala Reacts to Nigerian Player's Performance for Benin Republic in World Cup Qualifier

Nigerian football star Asisat Oshoala sent a message to Junior Olaitan, a Nigerian descent player for Benin Republic, who scored in a World Cup qualifier match. Olaitan's performance helped Benin Republic in their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Benin Republic team is currently behind South Africa by three points. Olaitan, who plays for Goztepe, celebrated the victory, prompting Oshoala's response.

The confusion arose as Benin Republic is ahead in the table, potentially securing a spot over South Africa. Olaitan, born to a Nigerian father, now plays for the Benin Republic national team.

The two players were previously spotted playing street soccer in Lagos.
