Nigeria dominated Benin 4–0 in a World Cup qualifying encounter that saw the hosts convert limited chances with clinical efficiency. Victor Osimhen spearheaded the victory with three goals, establishing himself as the match's decisive force. Despite Nigeria's xG of just 0.53, they capitalised ruthlessly on Benin's defensive frailties, with the visitors unable to muster meaningful attacking threat from their 3–4–3 setup. Benin's goalkeeper conceded 4.0 post-shot xG, underlining the quality of Nigeria's finishing and the gulf in class between the sides. The Super Eagles' 4–4–2 formation proved effective at controlling tempo and exploiting spaces in transition, while Benin offered little resistance in either phase of play. This comprehensive victory strengthens Nigeria's grip on Group C qualification.
