Lookman Assures Team Unity Despite Osimhen’s Frustration In Nigeria’s Win Over Mozambique

Ademola Lookman has played down any notion of a rift with Victor Osimhen following Nigeria’s 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 at Fes Sports Complex.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Osimhen, who scored twice, showed visible frustration after Lookman missed a passing opportunity, causing a brief moment of tension before the Galatasaray striker was substituted in the 70th minute.

After the match, Lookman stressed that team unity remains the top priority. “Victor is our number one guy. He’s a top striker, vital to us. Moments like that happen, but they don’t change our togetherness,” he said.

“I play for the badge and my teammates; assists or goals, the team comes first. Victor’s hunger drives us. We understand each other and keep pushing. We stay calm, respect decisions, and focus on the next game.”
