Victor Osimhen confirmed that a spectator deliberately targeted him with a laser pointer during Nigeria's World Cup qualifying match against Gabon. The striker stated he saw the individual in the stands attempting to distract him. He interpreted the act as a tactic aimed at disrupting the Nigerian team's performance due to their recognized quality.
Osimhen, who scored two goals in the 4-1 victory, said he chose to ignore the distraction and continue playing. His teammates Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke also scored in the semi-final playoff encounter.
