Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has been alternating flashes of brilliance with moments of frustration at this 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025).

Although he currently sits second in the tournament’s top scorers chart with four goals to his name, the Galatasaray striker hasn't quite set CAN 2025 alight as expected.

According to stats from specialist site sofascore, he shares the dubious honor of having squandered the most clear-cut chances in the tournament, tied with Morocco’s Ayoub El Kaabi—both missing five golden opportunities.
