Super Eagles trash Mozambique 4-0 to reach AFCON quarter-finals
Nigeria's Super Eagles crushed Mozambique 4-0 on Monday night in Fez to qualify for the 2025 AFCON quarter-finals. This marks Nigeria's first-ever four-match winning streak at the tournament, having swept all Group C fixtures.
Ademola Lookman opened the scoring before setting up Victor Osimhen for Nigeria's second goal just before halftime. Lookman provided another assist shortly after the break for Osimhen's brace. Akor Adams completed the rout with a powerful strike from inside the area.
Nigeria now awaits the winner of Burkina Faso vs DR Congo in the quarter-finals. The victory extends Nigeria's dominant run, with Mozambique offering little resistance against the high-flying Eagles.
Is this the Super Eagles' year to claim their fourth AFCON title, or will the knockout stage expose vulnerabilities despite this commanding performance?
