Already a quadruple scorer in the first leg of this group A of the CAN qualifiers, Victor Osimhen struck hard again this Sunday, September 10 against Sao Tome and Principe. The Naples striker was the author of three goals for the last qualifying match: the opening score with a header from a corner (13th), a penalty (69th) and a head-to-head victory against the opposing goalkeeper (79th), enough to widen the final score, 6-0, and consolidate the qualification already acquired before the match.
The young Victor Boniface (22 years old, Bayer Leverkusen) made a good impression for his first selection, with an assist for Samuel Chukuweze (84th). Ademola Lookman, after a nice breakthrough with the ball (27th) and Taiwo Awoniyi, with a well-licked chest-volley (51st), completed the scoreboard. Whatever happens in the match between Guinea-Bissau, already qualified, and Sierra Leone on Monday, Senegal is guaranteed to keep its first place.
Togo ends well
In the other match at the same time, counting for group B, Togo overthrew Cape Verde, while trailing 2-0. If the Togolese were already eliminated before the match, Paulo Duarte’s men finished with their heads held high thanks to a double from Kévin Denkey and a goal from Abdou Moutalabou Ouattara at the end of the game.
