    After Mohamed Tijani had given Benin the lead Osimhen fired in a header to draw the Eagles level.

    It was Osimhen’s 23rd goal in the Eagles and has now equaled the legendary Segun Odegbami at second place in the all time top scorer in the senior men’s national team.

    At first place is the late Rashidi Yekini who scored 37 goals in the Super Eagles.
