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. After a dominant first half in which Nigeria created several clear chances, the breakthrough arrived shortly after the restart. In the 47th minute, Bruno Onyemeachi delivered a precise cross from the left, and Victor Osimhen rose at the back post to power a header past Luca Zidane. Nigeria doubled their lead just 10 minutes later. Alex Iwobi split the Algerian defence with a perfectly weighted pass, allowing Osimhen to break free. Instead of shooting, the striker calmly squared the ball […]

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 […]

Nigeria’s Depth Shines in Convincing Win Over Uganda

Nigeria delivered a strong message to their Africa Cup of Nations rivals with a confident 3–1 victory over Uganda, achieved with a heavily rotated squad. Head coach Eric Sékou Chelle will take particular satisfaction from the display, as it underlined the Super Eagles’ depth and attacking strength even without several regular starters. Midfielder Raphael Onyedika was the standout performer, producing a composed and commanding display capped by two well-taken goals. His influence in the centre of the pitch controlled the tempo and limited Uganda’s ability to build sustained attacks. Paul Onuachu also impressed, scoring Nigeria’s third goal and entering the history books as the 70th Nigerian player to score at the Africa Cup of Nations — more than any other nation has produced. Despite their dominance, Nigeria again showed a familiar weakness late on. With the game already won, they […]

Osimhen Scores as Nigeria Edge Tunisia at AFCON

Nigeria delivered one of their strongest performances of the AFCON 2025 group stage with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tunisia, confirming their status as serious contenders in the tournament. Dominant for long stretches, the Super Eagles built a commanding lead before surviving a late Tunisian comeback. Victor Osimhen opened the scoring just before halftime, finally finding the net after several near misses earlier in the competition. Wilfred Ndidi and Ademola Lookman added to Nigeria’s advantage in the second half, putting the team 3-0 ahead and seemingly in full control of the match. Tunisia, however, refused to fold. Two late goals reduced the margin and turned the final minutes into a tense affair, but Nigeria held firm to secure all three points. The result guarantees the Super Eagles top spot in their group, regardless of the outcome of their final match […]

Ndidi: Super Eagles motivated by painful 2021 AFCON loss to Tunisia

Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi says the Super Eagles will use the memory of their shock defeat to Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as motivation when the two sides meet again in the group stage on Friday. Five years ago, Nigeria entered the round-of-16 clash as overwhelming favourites after a flawless group campaign that included a win over seven-time champions Egypt. Tunisia, by contrast, scraped through as one of the best third-placed teams. However, the Carthage Eagles stunned Nigeria with a 1-0 victory, capitalising on a defensive error and a red card shown to Alex Iwobi. Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter, Ndidi described the defeat as a painful moment but insisted the current squad is focused on the present. “It was a painful loss in 2021,” Ndidi said at the pre-match press conference. “The guys were really prepared […]

Mbokazi shines despite Bafana loss to Egypt

South Africa’s Bafana Bafana suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Egypt on Friday in Agadir, but the match also highlighted the emergence of a new defensive leader in Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who delivered an assured performance against elite opposition. The decisive moment came from a controversial first-half penalty, converted by Mohamed Salah, despite Egypt being reduced to 10 men before the break. While the result went against South Africa, the 20-year-old Mbokazi stood out with a display marked by composure, discipline and tactical awareness. Deployed at left centre-back, Mbokazi had a demanding task. With Aubrey Modiba pushing forward at left-back, the responsibility fell on him to cover wide spaces and neutralise Salah, who frequently drifted inside from the right wing. The young defender responded with maturity, timing his challenges well and maintaining positional discipline throughout the contest. In the opening exchanges, […]

AFCON 2025 set for kickoff in Morocco

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco today, bringing together 24 of the continent’s best teams in a tournament already marked by debate over its timing. The competition was originally planned for the summer but was moved to December and January, a switch that has angered many European clubs forced to release key African players mid season.​ Columnist Patrick Omorodion notes that the calendar change has revived long standing tensions between club and country whenever AFCON is staged during the European season. Despite the complaints, he argues that African football authorities must prioritise conditions that suit the continent’s climate and infrastructure rather than bowing completely to European interests.​ The expanded 24 team format means more countries now have the chance to play on the big stage, raising excitement among fans across Africa. However, it also increases pressure […]

Morocco under pressure as AFCON begins

Host nation Morocco enter the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations under intense pressure to deliver the title as the continent’s top ranked team and World Cup semi finalists. The Atlas Lions open the tournament on Sunday night against Comoros at the new 69,000 seat Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.​ Morocco are ranked 11th in the world by FIFA and arrive at AFCON on the back of a record run of 18 consecutive victories in all competitions. Coach Walid Regragui has repeatedly stated that the clear objective is to win the trophy on home soil in front of their own fans.​ Regragui admitted that his players will face extra pressure because of the expectations surrounding them but called it a positive motivation. He said anything short of lifting the title would be viewed as a failure for a team that […]

Onana dropped as new coach names Cameroon AFCON squad

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been left out of Cameroon’s provisional squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations as the Indomitable Lions begin a new era under a fresh head coach.​ The new coach, whose appointment was recently confirmed by the Cameroon Football Federation, unveiled his first squad list ahead of the tournament, opting to reshuffle the team and leave out some experienced names, including Onana.​ Onana’s omission comes after a turbulent spell with the national team, marked by his temporary retirement following a dispute at the 2022 World Cup and a later return for international duty.​ The coach is believed to be focusing on rebuilding the squad around younger players and in‑form options, especially in key positions, as Cameroon aim for a strong performance at AFCON 2025.​ Reports indicate that the door has not been completely closed […]
