Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is facing criticism from fans over his on-field conduct during Nigeria’s dominant 4-0 victory over Mozambique. Despite scoring twice, the Galatasaray forward drew fire for a vocal outburst directed at Ademola Lookman in the 63rd minute. Many supporters took to social media to label the reaction “unprofessional” and “disrespectful,” especially as Lookman had assisted both of Osimhen’s goals earlier in the match.
Nigerian fans have condemned Victor Osimhen’s “main character syndrome” following an angry outburst at Ademola Lookman during Monday’s AFCON victory. In a viral clip, Osimhen is seen dismissing captain Wilfred Ndidi and shouting “No try am again” at Lookman for taking a shot instead of passing. The incident has divided supporters; while some view it as elite winning mentality, others have labeled it as disrespectful toward Lookman, who played a direct role in creating both of Osimhen’s goals in the 4-0 win.
The tactical chemistry between the two stars remained intact despite the heated exchange; Osimhen scored twice and Lookman provided two assists and a goal in the 4-0 rout. With four consecutive wins under their belt, Nigeria now advances to the last eight. They are scheduled to face either Algeria or DR Congo, moving one step closer to ending their 13-year trophy drought.
