Tolu Arokodare emerged as the hero for Nigeria in their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture against Rwanda, delivering the game-winning strike that secured a 1-0 victory for the Super Eagles.
In a tightly contested match, Arokodare found the breakthrough early in the second half, capitalizing on a loose ball in the box to fire home and put his side ahead. His timely intervention ultimately proved decisive in a match that saw few clear-cut chances. Nigeria held firm to their slender lead, closing out the game with disciplined defending and composure.
Arokodare’s moment of glory on the international stage builds on a remarkable domestic campaign. He was recently honored with the 2024–25 Ebony Shoe award, recognizing him as the best African player in Belgium. The accolade came on the back of an impressive tally of 20 league goals for Genk, making him one of the division’s most prolific scorers and earning him a place in an elite group of Nigerian footballers to win the award.
