Tolu Arokodare has praised Victor Osimhen following his impressive hat-trick in the Super Eagles’ 4-0 win against Benin Republic.
On Tuesday the Super Eagles went into their final Group C 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier with Benin Republic needing to win and hoped South Africa fail to beat Rwanda.
Osimhen was in superb form as he bagged a hat-trick and substitute Frank Onyeka completed the rout against Benin Republic.
Unfortunately it was not enough to secure automatic qualification as South Africa defeated Rwanda 3-0 to secure the ticket.
