Nigeria dominated Gabon 4-1 in a World Cup CAF qualifier, with Victor Osimhen netting twice to lead the home side's clinical performance. Deployed in a 4-3-3 formation, Nigeria generated 0.46 xG and converted their chances ruthlessly, whilst Gabon managed only 0.4 xG in their own 4-3-3 setup. The visitors' goalkeeper conceded 4.0 post-shot expected goals, highlighting the quality of Nigeria's finishing across the 90 minutes. Osimhen's brace underscored Nigeria's attacking threat, though the full goalscorer breakdown remains incomplete. Nigeria's defensive solidity was evident in limiting Gabon to a single goal despite conceding 1.0 psxGA. The comprehensive victory strengthens Nigeria's qualifying campaign in Group C.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
