A Liberian football fan on Sunday, June 18, invaded the pitch in Monrovia during the African Cup of Nations qualifying match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Sierra Leone national team.

The encounter was a challenging one for the three-time African champions as they had to score at the death to record a win over their hosts who wanted to get a point in the duel.

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen was the man of the match as he scored a brace for Nigeria in their 3-2 win over Sierra Leone and took his goal tally for the Super Eagles to 17.

After Osimhen scored his second goal against the Stars, a pitch invader was so elated, subsequently rushing in to celebrate the former Lille striker.

How did Osimhen react?

According to the photo posted on Twitter and the report on Opera, Osimhen was happy to see a fan invading the pitch to appreciate him.

The pitch Invader was on the floor as he was visibly holding the leg of the former Golden Eaglets' star who was kind of standing in an awkward position.

There is still interest in the Nigerian forward from various European clubs, and it remains to be seen what will happen prior to the 2023/24 season kicking off.
