Osimhen added his second of the match later in the half, finishing a well executed counterattack. Akgün, who played a key role throughout, provided the assist for all three goals.
The rivalry with South Africa at youth level has added spice. Nigeria edged the Amajita 2-1 to win bronze in 2009 and again beat them via penalties in 2012 for third place.
Sources also confirm that Aina had earlier triggered an automatic one-year extension clause in his deal, meaning he is already tied to the club for the 2025/26 season.
The measure was taken to stabilize his condition, limit movement, and manage his heart rate. He is expected to undergo a second procedure on Wednesday.
