Osimhen wasted an early chance to put Nigeria ahead early in the game.
The Napoli hitman however won the penalty that was converted by centre-back William Troost-Ekong for the second goal.
The 25-year-old saw action for 88th minutes in the keenly contested encounter.
The striker was replaced by Trabzonspor’s Paul Onuachu two minutes from time. READ ALSO:
