Oliseh said, I am “extremely impressed by his offensive runs and hunger to win.”
Osimhen was pivotal in the opening goal of the Super Eagles against the Indomitable Lions; he assisted Ademola Lookman’s first goal in the 36th minute.
Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2-0 as Lookman sealed victory for Jose Peseiro’s side with the second in the 90th minute, helping the three-time Champions progress to the quarter finals.
The Super Eagles will face Angola, who beat Namibia 3-0 earlier on Saturday, in the quarter finals of the tournament.
An X user (@Thesaajay) hailed Osimhen after the encounter against Cameroon: “Goal Nigeria. OSHIMEN ASSIST
“After this I don’t want to hear that nonsense Oshimen won’t be good for Chelsea. We are literally screaming for him. The pressing, the desire, the passion is unmatched.”
Oliseh quoted the X user (@Thesaajay) and commented: “Victor Osimhen! Victor Osimhen!! Extremely impressed not only by his offensive runs ,defensive work but even on cornerskicks against,tormenting of the Cameroonian defence, but mostly by his leadership and hunger to win! Bravo to our African Ballon D’or.”
