It was glit and glamour as the Super Eagles of Nigeria clinched their second win of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers after thrashing Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 on Monday afternoon.
This came after the Eagles kicked off the qualifying series with a 2-1 win over Sierra Leone last Thursday and have now boosted their hopes of securing a ticket to the finals with a second dominating victory.
The Jose Peseiro boys had a decent outing in Morocco, where they played as the away team and defeated hosts Sao Tome, who had lost 5-1 to Guinea-Bissau in their opening game of the series.
Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen was a major decider in the game, as he scored four goals and made two assists to help Nigeria seal the big win.
New boy, Ademola Lookman scored his first goal, Terem Moffi of Lorient also scored twice, Oghenekaro Etebo scored a goal, as well as Moses Simon. Watford’s Emmanuel Dennis also scored through a late penalty.
Sao Tome and Principe had no shot on target as they lost the game despite having the ball 34 percent of the time.
It was yet another win for Peseiro, who had just who didn’t do well in his first two games against Mexico and Ecuador.
