"And they swiftly and emphatically put any notion of an upset to bed as a brace from Victor Osimhen, alongside goals from Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams, secured a fourth win in as many games at this edition of the tournament. Nigeria will next face either Algeria or DR Congo, the team that ended the Super Eagles' World Cup qualification hopes, as they bid to atone somewhat for that disappointment."
"Iwobi was to the fore as Nigeria broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, playing in Adams down the left side of the box, with the Sevilla forward then pulling back for Lookman to turn home. Five minutes later it was 2-0. Iwobi's pinpoint no-look pass from midfield found Lookman on the left, and his low cross was flicked on by Adams for Osimhen to convert a simple finish."
Nigeria defeated Mozambique 4-0 in Fez to advance to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, recording a fourth consecutive win in the tournament. Alex Iwobi played a central creative role, setting up the opening goal for Akor Adams and providing the key pass that led to Victor Osimhen's first strike. Osimhen added a second early in the second half after Lookman’s incisive wing play, and Adams finished a further chance late on to seal the result. Nigeria will next face either Algeria or DR Congo as they progress deeper into the competition.
