Barcelona Ladies striker Asisat Oshoala has heaped praise on compatriot Victor Osimhen after the Napoli star scored the winning goal in Super Eagles’ 2-1 triumph over Sierra Leone in Abuja on Thursday.

The Napoli forward smashed home the winning goal to power Nigeria to its first international victory since January as Osimhen crashed in his first Super Eagles goal of the year, a pure predatory strike four minutes before the halftime break, to give the home side the lead after Everton winger Alex Iwobi dragged Nigeria back on levelled terms after pouncing on Moses Simon’s intelligent pounce.

The manner of the goal impressed Asisat Oshoala. And the Barcelona ace took to her Instagram page to hail the Napoli forward as the best.

“Best in scoring goals, Victor Osimhen.” Asisat Oshoala wrote.

The goal was the 23-year-old’s 11th senior strike for Nigeria, taking him above Victor Moses and Osaze Odemwingie on Nigeria’s all-time highest goalscorer chart.
