Nigeria cruised to an emphatic 4–0 victory over Benin Republic in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, October 14, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen was the star of the night, netting a brilliant hat-trick in the 3rd, 37th, and 51st minutes to give Nigeria complete control of the match.
His pace and precision proved too much for the Beninese defence to handle as the Napoli striker continued his fine international form.
Frank Onyeka added a fourth goal in stoppage time (90+5’) after a slick assist from Moses Simon, sealing a dominant performance for the home side and sending the crowd into wild celebration.
Benin struggled to find their rhythm throughout the encounter, managing a few clear chances against Nigeria’s organised backline anchored by Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey.
