AFCON U23: Victor Osimhen's Hat-trick Helped Nigeria Survive Libya Scare

Victor Osimhen netted a hat-trick for Nigeria's U23 to douse the scare Libya create in the first leg of the 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Tunisia on Wednesday, March 20.

 Osimhen justified his emergency call up to the Nigeria's Olympic men football team
as he scored one goal in the first half and two in the second before setting up Nigeria's fourth with a back-heel to seal a brilliant comeback.

Nigeria's U23 entered the game with a two-goal deficit after they lost the first leg 2-0 last week.

But with the help of Super Eagles mercenaries, Osimhen, Francis Uzoho, Chidiezie Awaziem and Valentine Ozornwafor, Nigeria's U23 overpowered their Libyan counterparts to book a spot at the 2019 U23 AFCON
