Nigeria’s Super Eagles continued their impressive Africa Cup
of Nations, AFCON run with a commanding 4-0 victory over Mozambique in Fes on
Sunday, as they seal a quarter-final spot.
Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 20th minute,
smashing a powerful shot past Hernâni Siluane to put Nigeria ahead.
Five minutes later, Victor Osimhen doubled the lead after
Iwobi set up Lookman, whose perfectly timed cross allowed the Galatasaray
striker to tap home.
The second half began in perfect fashion for the Super
Eagles, as Osimhen completed his brace in the 47th minute, slotting home from
close range following a slick pass from Lookman.
Adams added the fourth in the 75th minute with a ruthless
strike, effectively sealing the victory.
Mozambique offered little resistance, with goalkeeper
Siluane and his substitute Urrubal both forced into a few key saves, but the
Mambas struggled to create clear-cut chances.
Nigeria, meanwhile, dominated from start to finish,
controlling possession and pressuring the Mozambican defense relentlessly.
Coach Eric Chelle’s side made a few late substitutions in a
bid to salvage some pride, but the Super Eagles’ attacking fluency was too much
to handle.
