AFCON 2025: Super Eagles maul Mozambique 4–0, storm quarter-finals

The Super Eagles on Monday night sealed a commanding place in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with an emphatic 4–0 victory over Mozambique in Fez.
Nigeria’s latest triumph marked a historic feat, as the three-time champions won their first four matches of the tournament for the first time ever, topping Group C with a perfect record.
Ademola Lookman set the tone with the opening goal before turning provider, laying on a precise assist for Victor Osimhen to double Nigeria’s advantage before the interval.
Osimhen struck again moments after the restart, once more benefiting from Lookman’s creativity to complete his brace and effectively put the contest beyond Mozambique’s reach.
The rout was completed late on when Akor Adams fired home a powerful effort from close range, capping a dominant display by Eric Chelle’s side.
With confidence soaring, the Super Eagles will now face the winner of the quarter-final clash between Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of Congo as they continue their quest for continental glory.
