Goals from Nigeria's front two sealed a dominant 2-0 victory over Algeria, sending the Super Eagles into the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON, where they will now face Morocco, Softfootball reports.
Fresh from a commanding 4-0 round-of-16 win over Mozambique, Eric Chelle's side started this quarter-final with real authority and quickly imposed themselves on proceedings. Ademola Lookman was at the heart of Nigeria's early threat, cutting inside to fire a powerful effort straight at Luca Zidane.
Moments later, he almost released Victor Osimhen clean through on goal, only for a brilliantly timed challenge from Rayan Ait-Nouri to deny the striker what looked a certain opener.
