Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was on target for Lille in their Coupe de la Ligue victory over Gonfreville at the Stade Oceans, Le Havre on Saturday afternoon.

Osimhen, who has become a hot cake for top clubs seeking to have him for keeps, increased the tally for Lille after teammate and homeboy Loïc Rémy had grabbed the opening goal in the 69th minute of the match.

Lille won the game 2-0 with the former Charleroi forward scoring his team’s second goal of the game with few minutes to the end of the game.

Lille proved they were the better and more experienced side playing against a fifth division side Gonfreville, who only managed to keep 23% possession.

Interestingly Osimhen started the game from the bench after replacing Luiz Araujo in the 61st minute, but got the consolidation goal that sent the fans into frenzy.
