Nigeria Show Their Superiority with Commanding 4-0 AFCON Last 16 Win Over Mozambique

Fùs, Morocco — Nigeria’s Super Eagles delivered a dominant performance to storm into the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 quarter-finals with a resounding 4-0 victory over Mozambique in their Round of 16 clash at the Complexe Sportif de Fùs on Monday.

The three-time African champions set the tone early and never looked back, showcasing impressive attacking firepower and tactical cohesion against a Mozambique side making its first knockout appearance in tournament history.

Veteran star Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a well-taken finish, and quickly turned provider with assists that fuelled Nigeria’s relentless offensive pressure. Victor Osimhen was in lethal form, converting twice — once before halftime and again just after the break — to double and then triple Nigeria’s advantage. The rout was completed by Akor Adams, who sealed the emphatic win in the 75th minute.

The Super Eagles’ defence stood firm all night, earning a clean sheet — their first in this tournament — and underlining their superiority in all areas of the pitch.

Nigeria’s clinical display saw them control possession, create a multitude of chances, and send a strong statement of intent as they pursue continental glory. Their next challenge will come in the quarter-finals against the winner of the Algeria vs DR Congo tie in Marrakesh.

Fans and pundits alike hailed the performance as one of Nigeria’s most complete displays this AFCON, underpinning their credentials as serious title contenders
