The Super Eagles of Nigeria have progressed to the quarter-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations after a 2-0 win over Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Ivory Coast on Saturday. Nigeria will face Angola; who also got a win over Namibia in the same stage, in the quarter-finals February 2, as they hope to claim a fourth continental title after previous wins in 1980, 1994 and 2013. It was a blockbuster clash that had generated reviews as the old rivals squared off yet again at the continental showpiece, but it was the Nigerians who made short work of their eastern neighbours with a comfortable victory in Abidjan. Nigeria had a goal disallowed in controversial circumstances after defender Semi Ajayi found target in the ninth minute off Ademola Lookman’s corner that was parried into the pathway of Simon Moses, before Semi got his attempt. Moroccan referee Redouane Jiyed ruled out the goal for offside after consulting the Video Assistant Referee. The Super Eagles, however found the back of the net in the 36th minute after Osimhen displayed strength and alertness to win possession off Oumar Gonzalez just outside the penalty area, then picked out Ademola Lookman with a diagonal pass to the right of the penalty area and the Atalanta winger’s shot squeezed in through Ondoa’s gloves to give Nigeria the lead. Ademola Lookman grabbed his second of the night just before the 90th minute mark after a quickly worked free-kick on the left, from which Alex Iwobi sent Calvin Bassey clear inside the box. Bassey found Lookman and the winger’s measured finish hit target once again through Ondoa’s fingers on a night to forget for the Cameroon goalkeeper.
