Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle hinted at possible sanctions after Victor Osimhen’s touchline dispute.
Nigeria cruised past Mozambique 4-0, sealing AFCON quarter-final qualification with authority.
However, tension surfaced midway through the second half despite the Super Eagles’ commanding advantage.
Broadcast footage showed Osimhen and Ademola Lookman exchanging angry words on the pitch.
Soon after, Osimhen gestured for substitution and was replaced by striker Paul Onuachu.
The Napoli-born forward then skipped celebrations, heading straight into the tunnel after full-time.
Chelle confirmed the issue would be addressed privately within the squad’s disciplinary framework.
“Team matters stay internal,” Chelle said, declining details on potential consequences.
Ironically, the clash followed a productive display featuring goals, assists, and fluid attacking combinations.
Lookman scored once and created twice, while Osimhen netted a brace.
Frustration reportedly stemmed from a delayed pass after a promising attacking sequence.
Some supporters booed as Osimhen exited, reacting to his decision to leave early.
