Victor Osimhen Two Goals Closer to Rashidi Yekini’s Record After Scoring Against Algeria

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of making Nigerian football history. After scoring in Nigeria’s 2–0 AFCON 2025 quarterfinal win over Algeria, Osimhen’s international goal tally now stands at 35 goals, just two shy of the late Rashidi Yekini’s record of 37 goals.

With the Super Eagles advancing to the semi-finals, he has a golden opportunity to break Yekini’s long-standing record.

Here is a look at Nigeria’s all-time top scorers:

• Rashidi Yekini – 37 goals
• Victor Osimhen – 35 goals
• Segun Odegbami – 23 goals
• Yakubu Aiyegbeni – 21 goals
