Lookman scored a brace against Benin and won the man of the match.

Ademola Lookman has expressed his delight after the Super Eagles' impressive 3-0 win over the Benin Republic in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman gave Nigeria the lead with a stunning solo goal in first-half stoppage time, before Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray's new signing, extended the advantage with a well-taken goal in the 78th minute.

Lookman then added his second by heading in a cross from Moses Simon, completing an impressive performance.

After representing England at under-19 and under-21 levels, Lookman made his senior debut for Nigeria in 2022.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles have landed in Kigali for their matchday two encounter against Rwanda.

A chartered aircraft that had taken off from the Victor Attah International Airport earlier in the day and landed at the Kigali Airport at dawn was used to transport the group of players and officials to East Africa.
