Osimhen, Super Eagles Eye AFCON 2025 Redemption After World Cup Heartbreak

The Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign ended in bitter fashion on November 16, 2025, with a 4-3 penalty shootout loss to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Rabat. Nigeria had scraped through as one of the best second-placed teams from the group stage, finishing runners-up to South Africa in Group C after a rollercoaster campaign marked by coaching changes and off-field drama. The team bounced back in the playoff semi-final, thrashing Gabon 4-1 in extra time on November 13, with Osimhen netting twice to fire up the attack. But against DRC, an early Frank Onyeka goal was canceled out by Meschak Elia. After extra time, misses from Calvin Bassey and Moses Simon sealed Nigeria’s fate in the shootout. It marked the first time since 1990 that Nigeria would miss consecutive World Cups, leaving fans gutted and coach Eric Chelle fuming over what he called a “voodoo” distraction during penalties.
