Benin's dream of reaching the 2026 World Cup is slipping away. Victor Osimhen has just struck twice.

Benin is losing everything in this clash against Nigeria on matchday 10 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. After conceding the opening goal in the 3rd minute, the Cheetahs watched as Osimhen grabbed his brace in the 37th minute—a superb header.

At the same time, South Africa is leading Rwanda 2-0. Benin's elimination is looming.
