Nigeria booked a comfortable place in the quarter-finals with a commanding 4–0 victory over Mozambique at the Fez Stadium, producing one of their most convincing performances of the tournament.
The Super Eagles took control early and were rewarded in the 20th minute when Ademola Lookman finished emphatically from close range after being set up by Akor Adams.
The pressure continued to build, and five minutes later Victor Osimhen doubled the lead, reacting quickest in the box to convert Adams’ deflected assist and give Nigeria a firm grip on the contest before the break.
Nigeria resumed the second half with the same intensity, and Osimhen struck again two minutes after the restart, this time turning in Lookman’s delivery from close range to make it three.
The goal effectively ended any lingering resistance from the Mambas, who struggled to cope with Nigeria’s pace and movement.
Akor Adams capped a fine individual display in the 75th minute, racing clear on the counter-attack and firing into the top corner following another assist from Lookman to complete the rout and underline Nigeria’s attacking depth.
