Sunday Oliseh Criticized for Ignoring Victor Osimhen's Performance in Nigeria's AFCON Win
Former Nigerian footballer Sunday Oliseh did not recognize the performance of Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen in Nigeria's victory over Mozambique at the Africa Cup of Nations. Instead, Oliseh praised Fulham star Alex Iwobi for his impact on the game.
Osimhen scored two goals in the match, while Iwobi was credited for tearing apart Mozambique's defense. This omission by Oliseh has sparked criticism, with some accusing the Nigeria Football Federation of condoning Osimhen's behavior.
The match saw Nigeria secure a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament held in Morocco.
