The match, held on November 2, 2024, was a challenging outing for the 35-year-old striker, who played just over an hour before being substituted.
Ighalo followed that up with an 86-minute appearance just before the international break, with Wehda losing 3-2 to Damac. The Nigerian strike has scored just two goals in 10 matches this season for the club.
