That is a legendary note. The Great Yekini had 2 international Hattricks. Osimhen now on 3.

Yekini's 2 hattricks (4 & 3)...

⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ vs Burkina Faso (7-1) in Lagos 1991, Afcon Qualifiers.

⚽️⚽️⚽️ vs Ethiopia (6-0) in Lagos 1993, Afcon Qualifiers.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Omo i feel for them they would hav comfortably qualified on norms
But i think all these hapend for Nigeria to qualify. When u look at these incidents.

1) Eritrea factor
1) Lesotho narrowly missed goal in Uyo
2) Lookman's double yellow
3) suprising 4-0 win(exact min golas dey needed).
U wil know Fate wants Nigeria to qualify.
I think S.Eagles are going to America

Mujtahida:
You tried with those calculations. I'm not good at maths but you kept at it from the beginning to the end and you have very good recollection of our football. You deserve too ogoja babes.

BankyGee:
I KNOW Nigeria is going to America.

BankyGee:
I swear. If Lookman played we no go score pass 2 and I'm not capping. He'll come good and great. This is just not his time, he has a lot on his plate right now.

opes:
The Eritrea factor hit Burkina Faso the most. They earned 21 points from regular matches, but had 9 goals and 6 points deducted, which cost them a playoff spot

Arizoner:
Can somebody tell me why moses simon hasn't been banished from this team

BankyGee:
I love Galatasaray for not undervaluing this beast!

To hell with top 5 leagues clubs!
Galatasaray has one of the best strikers in world football on their hands and they value him immensely! 🦁👑🔥

As long as Osimhen plays there and even when he leaves, I'll always support and respect them too! Paying him €430k+ per week is not easy, but they know they've got a crazy treasure and did not subject him to the non-sense disrespect the EPL and Serie A are trying to subject him to.

This new week Europe will resonate with the name of Victor Osimhen and the respect will be loud!

Cocony:
Yekini scored 4 or 5 against Ethiopia, Late Peter Rufai scored a penalty, I think the 6th goal and one goal was argued as to whether it was Barnabas Imenger that had the last touch or if it was Yekini's.

QueenJazz:
Exactly. And Angola were so poor. If Angola had met this Benin side today, dem for collect at least 2.

TheSuperNerd:
He did not score 4 or 5 vs Ethiopia. He scored 3. I have the official records of all his goals from Cap 1 to Cap 62.

Cocony:
Galatasaray is not a mediocre club in the comity of European Clubs .
This is a team that beat Arsenal in the final of the then UEFA Cup(is it 2001 or 2002) parading the likes of George Hagi of Romania, Hakan Sukur, Hasan Sas to mention but a few of the bulk of Turkish players that helped Turkey place 3rd in the 2002 World cup. I think at a time they also paraded Mario Jardel.

Cocony:
You are on point.
However, I said 4 or 5 because I remember the 1st goal seemed disputed as his' or Barnabas Imenger's and I did not remember Nduka Ugbade scoring the 5th goal.

TheSuperNerd:
Fine. But the only time Yekini hit 4 in a game for the Super Eagles was against Burkina Faso in Lagos. 1991.

Goke7:
Omo, those are beasts of players back then. Hakan Suhur and George Hagi, oh Lord, mhen. A free kick for Hagi is the same as a penalty, even Rufai can testify with that disallowed goal in our match with Bulgaria in 94

elyte89:
I ask again, why was Benin 🇧🇯 legit goal not counted ? Nwabali dropped d ball on d ground as if dere was an infringement 😄…if var Dey , d goal would av stood

Cocony:
While you are right about the freekick prowess of George Hagi(The Carpathian Maradona) you intended to say Hristo Stoichkov's disallowed freekick goal for Bulgaria on our debut at USA 94. THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS

Meliforme:
I like Ejuke, he is the reason for my viewership of Sevilla games.

He needs to live up to expectation.
Dude is talented.

safarigirl:
Where will we see goalie abeg?

I agree that there is a gap between the Number 1, and to be honest, we don’t even have a Number 2 currently. If Maduka was available, maybe we would have been working towards something, but that Onana wannabe is, for all intents and purposes, untested and inexperienced.

Quality goalkeepers go a long way in must win games, and there is no way to resolve that issue as it stands. Nwabali is all we have

Unlimited22:
Make Ekong just dey captain from bench. I pray we make it to the world cup so it'll be his swansong

forgiveness:
E don set.
