Super Eagles Latest News LIVE:

Victor Osimhen’s Big Problem Ahead of Barcelona Game

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is expected to be the x-factor for Galatasaray when they face Barcelona in their second game of this season’s UEFA Champions League.

However, he faces a big struggle in that game because of how Barcelona set up. Under Hansi Flick, they like to play a dubious highline that often affects how teams will attack them.

But unfortunately for Galatasaray, their star man Osimhen is a notorious offside offender. And for a player who is 27 and has been playing professionally for nearly a decade, he can’t change overnight.

If Osimhen cannot influence the game enough, it will be a struggle for the Cimbom. Okan Buruk definitely has a lot of work in his hands.

Kelechi Iheanacho Scores Again

Kelechi Iheanacho has been dominating the news since the beginning of the season, and it does not seem like that will change anytime soon.

He scored yet again for Bursaspor, but they suffered a 2-1 loss to Mardin 1969 on Sunday.

Iheanacho is on fire! 🔥🇳🇬

Another brilliant goal against Mardin 1969 Spor, extending his scoring run to every match this season, with 12 goals in 10 matches. The only African to achieve the feat! 👏 https://t.co/913lAaK616

The Super Eagles star scored in the 81st minute, but it was not enough for his team in the end. He pounced on a loose ball on the edge of the box and unleashed a piledriver to the bottom-left corner of the post.

He now has 12 goals and two assists in nine league games for Bursaspor this season.

Super Falcons Set For Battle Again

The Super Falcons of Nigeria are set to return to action on Tuesday, October 13. They will take on Comoros in the second leg of their 2028 Olympic qualifiers at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.

Recall that they won the first leg 2-0 in the same stadium. Now, they will be looking to finish the job and set up a battle with Morocco in the penultimate round of qualifers.
