Onuachu Beats Osimhen to Baller of Week Award

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has edged out Victor Osimhen to win the Baller of the Week award following an impressive display for his club over the weekend. The Nigerian forward earned the accolade after scoring twice to inspire a crucial league victory on Sunday.

Onuachu’s goals proved decisive as his side secured maximum points, with the striker taking his tally to double figures for the season and underlining his fine form. “I’m happy to help the team and get the win,” Onuachu said after the match. “The goals are a bonus.”

Osimhen, who was also in contention after finding the net in his own league outing, was narrowly beaten to the award. A football analyst told Pulse Sports, “Both players performed well, but Onuachu’s impact was match-winning.”

The award highlights the growing competition among Nigerian forwards as the season progresses.
