Nigeria’s Super Eagles booked their place in the semi-finals of the 2025 AFCON after a convincing 2–0 victory over Algeria in Saturday’s quarter-final clash at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.
Galatasaray’s marksman Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock 85 seconds into the second half after a goalless but action-packed first half. Osimhen hit the back of the net after expertly heading Bruno Onyemaechi’s deep cross from the left down and back across goal for his fourth strike of the tournament.
Ten minutes later, Akor Adams doubled Nigeria’s advantage, rounding Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane with an assist from Osimhen following a slick attacking move.
The Super Eagles will face host Morocco in the semi-finals on Wednesday at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat.
Morocco booked their place in the last four with a dominant victory over Cameroon on Friday night.
