Ademola Lookman reacts to AFCON qualifier’s win over Benin Republic
The Atalanta winger scored twice in Sunday’s Group-D crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match between Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Cheetah of Benin Republic.
The 26-year-old was subsequently given the Man of the Match award.
Following the victory, Lookman shared his excitement on social media.
“Take off ” he wrote on X.
The ex-Leicester City player and his fellow teammates traveled to Kigali in preparation for their match against Rwanda on Sunday, marking the second game day of the tournament.
The pressure is mounting on Lookman and his fellow teammates, as Nigerians are eager for them to replicate their impressive performance and form displayed in Uyo against Rwanda.
