Osimhen’s Goal Sends Nigeria Into AFCON 2025 Semi-Finals

Marrakech, Morocco. Nigeria secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, 2025 quarter-final, booking a semi-final showdown against hosts Morocco.

The Super Eagles dominated the match from the start, showing speed, tactical awareness, and physical strength, while preventing Algeria from creating a single clear scoring opportunity. Two months ago, Nigeria missed out on World Cup qualification, but this performance sent a strong message about their determination on the continental stage.

The breakthrough came just two minutes into the second half, when Victor Osimhen guided home a long cross from Bruno Onyemaechi. Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane attempted a desperate jump to intercept the ball but misjudged his angle, leaving an easy finish for Osimhen.

Ten minutes later, Akor Adams increased Nigeria’s lead following a clever assist from Osimhen. Adams calmly rounded Zidane before slotting the ball into an empty net, putting the Super Eagles firmly in control.

Nigeria’s performance was impressive not just for the goals, but for their overall intensity. They pressed high, moved quickly around the field, won most of the duels, and looked far more cohesive and focused than in recent international outings.

With this win, Nigeria sets up a tantalizing semi-final clash against tournament hosts Morocco, a game that promises to test their skill, stamina, and tactical discipline. Fans and analysts alike are already predicting a thrilling encounter as the Super Eagles aim to reach the AFCON final.
