Nigeria defeated Algeria without a chance (2:0)

Shelle’s wards, despite complete dominance in the first half, were able to open the scoring only at the beginning of the second 45 minutes. Osymgen closed the pass from the wing with his head.

In the 57th minute, the Nigerians doubled their lead. Iwobi cut through the opponent’s defense with a split pass, bringing him face-to-face with the goalkeeper Osimgena. The striker of Galatasaray did not spare the ball for Adams – the latter confidently understood the episode and rolled the projectile into the goal net.

As a result, the Nigerian national team confidently wins and enters the semi-finals of the Cup of African Nations, where a serious opponent will be waiting for them – the host of the tournament, Morocco.
