Victor Osimhenβs hat-trick and a goal from Chidozie Okereke against Libya handed Nigeria a slot in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations. Imama Amakpakaboβs men rallied past the Libyan 4-0 after losing the first leg 2-0 at the Ben Guerdane Stadium in Tunisia.
Osimhen, Valentine Ozornwafor, Chidozie Awaziem and Francis Uzoho were drafted into the team after the team lost the first leg. The quartet were included in the starting line up at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba.
