Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, spotted replicating a Real Madrid star's celebration after Nigeria's win over South Africa in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final.

The Napoli striker could've won the game on normal time for the Super Eagles, but his goal was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), and in turn, giving Bafana Bafana a penalty.

The three-time champions went on to win the tie on penalties, with their goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali saving two spot-kicks out of four.

In a viral video uploaded by CAF Online, Osimhen was spotted mimicking David Alaba's iconic celebration while celebrating with Nigerian fans in the stands.

Osimhen's celebration with Nigerians in the stadium sparked reactions on social media.
