Sunday Oliseh Blames Osimhen for Nigeria's AFCON 2025 Setback

Former Nigerian footballer Sunday Oliseh attributed Nigeria's AFCON 2025 bronze medal finish to Victor Osimhen's outburst during a match against Mozambique. Osimhen's confrontation with teammate Ademola Lookman impacted team morale, leading to a loss of momentum.

Oliseh criticized Osimhen's lack of creativity and decision-making in crucial stages of the tournament. The incident mirrored past controversies involving Osimhen, including criticism of former coach Finidi George.

Despite Osimhen's scoring record, Nigeria was eliminated by Morocco in the semifinals. Oliseh highlighted the need for improved team cohesion and performance.
