Nigeria 3-1 Uganda: Two-goal hero Onyedika scoops Man of Match Award

Raphael Onyedika was  named the official Man of the Match after he netted twice for the Super Eagles to shoot down the Cranes of Uganda 3-1 in a final 2025 AFCON Group C clash in Fes on Tuesday.

The Club Brugge defensive midfielder struck twice in the second half after he was set up by Samuel Chukwueze as the Super Eagles crowned another dominant display to win their first round group with a perfect score of nine points. He has now scored three international goals.

He thus becomes the third Nigerian player to win the official award after Semi Ajayi (vs. Tanzania) and Ademola Lookman (vs. Tunisia).
