Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen on Friday evening overtook the legendary Segun Odegbami in Nigeria’s all-time top scorers list.
This follows his goal in the 11th minute of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali.
Osimhen came into the match level with Odegbami on 23 goals.
However, the Napoli loanee found the net following a free-kick cross from Ademola Lookman early in the game.
He then added another goal before half-time to make it 2-0 for Nigeria.
Osimhen now has 25 goals, two more than Odegbami.
The 26-year-old is now second only to Rashidi Yekini, who holds the record with 37 goals for the Super Eagles.
