2025 AFCON: Super Eagles Storm into Quarter-Finals with Commanding Mozambique Win

Posted : 06 January 2026

The Super Eagles of Nigeria delivered one of their most complete performances of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday night, brushing aside Mozambique with a convincing 4–0 victory to seal a place in the quarter-finals.

Played at the Fez Stadium in Morocco, the encounter showcased the growing confidence and cohesion of Eric Chelle’s side, who combined attacking ruthlessness with defensive solidity to extend their unbeaten run and maintain their clean-sheet record at the tournament.

Nigeria took control early and were rewarded in the 20th minute when Ademola Lookman capped a fluid attacking move with a calm finish to give the Eagles a deserved lead.

The pressure continued to mount on the Mambas, and Victor Osimhen doubled the advantage just before the break, underlining Nigeria’s dominance in the first half.

Any hopes of a Mozambique comeback were extinguished almost immediately after the restart, as Osimhen struck again barely two minutes into the second half, further asserting his status as Nigeria’s talisman in the competition.

It was then a memorable moment for Akor Adams, who put the icing on the cake with a thunderous strike 15 minutes from time, making a strong case for a bigger role as the tournament progresses.

Beyond the goals, Nigeria’s defensive organisation stood out, with the Super Eagles barely troubled as they recorded yet another clean sheet, reinforcing their credentials as genuine title contenders.

With momentum firmly on their side, Nigeria will now turn their attention to Saturday’s quarter-final showdown, where they will face either Algeria or DR Congo in what promises to be a sterner test of their ambitions.
