Bro, at this point Benjamin Fredrick is not playing like a 20-year-old at all.
This guy has now played 570 minutes for Nigeria without being substituted once, and tonight again he showed why the coach trusts him this much. Solid for the whole 90 minutes, calm under pressure, strong in his duels, and reading the game like someone who has been in the Super Eagles setup for years.
And the best part? In extra time, when legs were gone and the game was turning into a war, he stepped forward, carried the ball out of defence and assisted Osimhen’s goal. A centre-back doing that in a World Cup playoff… that’s maturity.
Benjamin Fredrick is quietly becoming one of the pillars of this team.
At 20, he’s already defending like a veteran.
