Nigeria trashed Mozambique 4-0 to book a quarter-final place against the winner of Algeria/DRC. In a very well-controlled game, Nigeria could have scored more goals. Goals from Lookman, Osimhen (brace), and a fourth goal from Akor Adams sealed a good performance. There was petulant behavior from Victor Osimhen towards Lookman, who acted in a mature manner. Osimhen’s conduct was disruptive and shouldn’t detract from the Super Eagles’ performance.
The match showcased Nigeria’s attacking prowess, with Ademola Lookman scoring one goal and providing three assists. Victor Osimhen scored a brace, taking his tally to 34 goals for Nigeria, just three shy of Rashidi Yekini’s record. Akor Adams also chipped in with a goal, highlighting Nigeria’s depth in attack.
