The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has bestowed the title of “Lion of Africa” upon Victor Osimhen, praising the 25-year-old for his crucial contribution to Nigeria’s 2-0 triumph over Cameroon in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16.
During the match, Ademola Lookman’s two goals secured a memorable victory for Nigeria against the Indomitable Lions. The official handle of CAF shared a video of Osimhen’s celebration after setting up Lookman’s first goal, using the popular slogan, “Lion of Africa no gree for anybody! Ginger o porrr! No retreat, no surrender.”
In the highlighted play, Osimhen broke free and provided a key pass to Lookman, whose finish found the net, securing Nigeria’s first goal in the encounter.
Nigeria’s success against Cameroon sets them up for a quarter-final clash against Angola. Angola secured their place in the last eight by defeating Namibia 3-0 in a previous match.
