Nigeria secured a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals with a convincing 2-0 win over Algeria, thanks to Victor Osimhen’s outstanding performance. The Napoli striker scored one goal and assisted another, showcasing his exceptional skill and leadership. Osimhen’s header, powered by Bruno Onyemaechi’s pinpoint cross, broke the deadlock just two minutes into the second half. He then set up Akor Adams for Nigeria’s second goal, which effectively sealed the win.

Nigeria dominated the match, with Osimhen and Ademola Lookman causing problems for Algeria’s defense throughout the game. Despite Algeria’s strong start, Nigeria’s pressure paid off, and they controlled the remainder of the match. The Super Eagles will now face hosts Morocco in the semi-finals, looking to secure their fourth continental title.
