A dramatic turn of events unfolded after Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe, as Super Eagles stars Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface appeared to have a misunderstanding. However, the duo has quickly put their differences aside.
The tension arose when Osimhen, who had opened the scoring, was visibly frustrated with his teammates after Zimbabwe’s late equalizer.

He was seen pushing Boniface away as he attempted to approach him. Despite their usual playful banter on social media, the on-field disappointment got the better of Osimhen.
However, in a heartwarming display, Osimhen and Boniface were spotted chatting amicably in an airport lounge, putting their brief disagreement to rest.
Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying hopes remain alive, albeit precarious. To keep their dreams alive, they must win their remaining games and rely on favorable results from other matches, including those involving Benin and South Africa.
