Victor Osimhen is now the leading scorer of the 2023 AFCON qualifying tournament with seven goals thus far.
The Napoli striker took his tally to seven goals Sunday with his double against hosts Sierra Leone.
He will be expected to improve this number when the Super Eagles welcome Group A whipping boys Sao Tome and Principe on September 4 in Uyo.
He has now netted 17 goals in 25 appearances for the Super Eagles, 20 goals shy of the all-time record set by the legendary Rashidi Yekini.
The 24-year-old striker missed the last AFCON in Cameroon due to injury.
Bayern Munich and Senegal forward Sadio Mane is second in the goals race with five goals.
