Victor Osimhen of the Super Eagles was praised by former Ghana international Asamoah Gyan for playing with "passion" during Nigeria's 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, Round of 16 match against Cameroon on Saturday night. Remember how Osimhen was blazing during Nigeria's 2-0 AFCON victory against Cameroon?

During the match, the Napoli forward assisted Ademola Lookman in scoring two goals to give Jose Peseiro's team the victory over the Indomitable Lions. Gyan, whose nation, Ghana, was ousted from the AFCON in the group round, responded to the match by writing on his X account, "Osimhen plays with passion." "Every nation wants its players to do that." Now, Osimhen will try to lead Nigeria to victory on Friday when they play Angola in the AFCON quarterfinal.
