Former international Victor Ikpeba has praised Victor Osimhen and coach Eric Chelle for the Super Eagles spirited display in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

The Super Eagles defeated Rwanda 2-0, recording their first win in the qualifiers, before they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Zimbabwe.

Osimhen grabbed a brace against the Amavubi of Rwanda and scored the Super Eagles only goal against the Warriors of Zimbabwe.

"I loved the commitment and attitude of Osimhen he gave everything and scored three goals," Ikpeba said on SuperSport TVs programme Monday Night Football.

"There was nothing wrong with him walking out angrily after the Zimbabwe match. Such things happen."
