Already in the 20th half of the season, attacking defender Ademola Lookman showed up after an accurate shot from the center of the penalty area. Five minutes later, forward Viktor Osimgen scored his second goal (again after an assist from Akor Adams), and at the start of the second half he scored his other goal, scoring a 3:0 victory from Lookman’s pass..

Akor Adams himself scored the fourth goal in the 75th minute, effectively ending the Nigerian attack.

Nigeria continues to fight at CAN-2025 and will compete with the bet winner Algeria - DR Congo in the quarterfinals.
