Super Eagles Soar Over Cameroon to Reach AFCON Quarter-Finals
In a thrilling match at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, Nigeria emerged victorious against Cameroon with a 2-0 win, securing their spot in the quarter-finals. The game saw intense action with Semi Ajayi’s goal initially celebrated but later disallowed after a VAR review deemed it offside. However, Ademola Lookman stole the spotlight, scoring twice to lead the Super Eagles to victory.
The first goal came in the 36th minute when Victor Osimhen assisted Lookman, whose shot found the back of the net past Cameroon’s goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa. Lookman struck again in the 90th minute, capitalizing on a cross from Bassey to seal Nigeria’s victory.
With this win, Coach Jose Peseiro’s team advances to face Angola in the quarter-finals on Friday, setting the stage for another exciting match in the tournament.
