After netting the decisive goal against Rwanda last week, Tosin Aiyegun knows exactly what Benin needs to do against Nigeria on Tuesday in Uyo.

The Lorient striker is gearing up for a crucial showdown for Benin against Nigeria on Tuesday in Uyo, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Despite the high stakes, Aiyegun remains confident:

It won’t be easy, but that’s football. We’ve always dreamed of playing a big match. Now, it’s against Nigeria. We have to give it our all.

For him and his teammates, the objective is clear: control their destiny and secure Benin’s first-ever historic qualification for the World Cup.

This is going to be an electrifying match. Nigeria will have their last chance, but we won’t back down. We’ll do everything to get a positive result and keep the dream alive.
