Victor Osimhen scored a hat-trick in the game the Super Eagles dominated from start to finish.
First-half goals from the Napoli striker and Italy-based Ademola Lookman set the tone for Nigeria in Sunday’s game played under wet conditions.

With the victory, the Super Eagles finished top in Group A with 15 points; scoring an astonishing 22 goals in the process.
