Nigeria beat Algeria to reach AFCON semi-final

Nigeria produced a commanding display to defeat Algeria 2-0 in Marrakesh, booking their place in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals with an impressive and controlled performance. The Super Eagles, chasing a fourth continental title, took full control of the match and will now face tournament hosts Morocco in Rabat on Wednesday in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown.

Nigeria doubled their lead just 10 minutes later. Alex Iwobi split the Algerian defence with a perfectly weighted pass, allowing Osimhen to break free.

Salah fires Egypt past Ivory Coast into AFCON semis

Egypt booked their place in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals after a dramatic 3-2 victory over defending champions Ivory Coast in Agadir, with Mohamed Salah once again playing a decisive role. The Liverpool forward scored his fourth goal of the tournament as the Pharaohs continued their push for a first continental title since 2010. The win also sets up a high-profile semi-final against Senegal and Sadio Mané, renewing one of African football’s biggest rivalries. Egypt got off to a flying start when Omar Marmoush opened the scoring in the fourth minute, finishing calmly after being put through by Emam Ashour. Ivory Coast looked rattled, and their problems deepened on the half-hour mark when Rami Rabia rose highest to head in Salah’s corner and make it 2-0. The Elephants were handed a lifeline just before the break when Ahmed Abou […]

Victor Osimhen: Looking beyond the goal machine

Victor Osimhen is widely known as a relentless goal scorer and one of the most aggressive forwards of his generation. Yet away from the penalty box, there is a more reflective side to the Super Eagles star that many fans rarely see.​ On the pitch, Osimhen plays with intensity, constant movement and a visible hunger to score, sometimes clashing with opponents, referees or even teammates. Coaches and analysts say that energy is driven by a deep desire to help his team win and a refusal to accept defeat.​ Off the field, those close to him describe a very different personality. Friends and teammates talk about a playful, generous figure who often reaches out to younger players and quietly supports people from his Lagos neighbourhood.​ Osimhen’s rise from street hawking in Lagos to becoming one of Africa’s most feared strikers has […]

Sabalenka blasts ‘insane’ tennis schedule

World number one Aryna Sabalenka says tennis authorities are not protecting players from what she calls an insane and overloaded tournament calendar.​She argued that the packed season and heavy balls are causing more injuries, while organisers focus on their own interests instead of players’ health.​ Under WTA rules, top players must play all four Grand Slams, 10 WTA 1000s and six WTA 500 events or risk fines and ranking point deductions.​Sabalenka revealed she lost points last season, along with Iga Swiatek, for not meeting the mandatory WTA 500 requirement despite already playing a heavy schedule.​ She said she plans to skip some tournaments again in 2026 to protect her body, even if it means further sanctions.​The Belarusian added that she sometimes competed while sick or exhausted and now wants to manage her calendar better, insisting players should not be forced […]
