The lethal forward scored a brace, with Ademola Lookman providing an assist to boost his goal tally in the competition. However, tensions flared in the 63rd minute when Osimhen angrily confronted the Atalanta winger, throwing his hands around and appearing to warn him about something that was not made public. The Super Eagles’ pressure paid off in the 20th minute when Ademola Lookman curled home from Akor Adams’ cutback to break the deadlock. Five minutes later, Osimhen doubled the advantage, finishing after Alex Iwobi’s incisive play through midfield released Lookman, whose ball across took a deflection off Adams. Adams capped a fine individual display by firing in Nigeria’s fourth in the 75th minute after more good work from Lookman.
