Teboho Mokoena Praises Osimhen's Hat-Trick Heroics in World Cup Qualifier
South African midfielder Teboho Mokoena lauded Nigerian forward Osimhen as the 'GOAT' after his hat-trick in Nigeria's 4-0 victory over Benin Republic in a World Cup qualifier. Osimhen scored within three minutes of the game, with Samuel Chukwueze adding a brace and Mose Simon scoring as well.
Mokoena's praise came after his own team secured a World Cup spot with a 3-0 win against Rwanda. Despite facing controversy earlier, Mokoena played a vital role in South Africa's recovery.
Nigeria finished as the best second-place team in the African qualifiers.
