The Nigeria Super Eagles have eliminated Cameroon with a 2-0 victory in the Africa Cup of Nations, advancing to the quarter-finals where they will face Angola.
Ademola Lookman’s brace ensured Nigeria a place in next weekend’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals as they beat long-standing foes Cameroon 2-0 in the last 16 on Saturday.
Lookman’s 36th-minute goal at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium opened the scoring and he contributed a second on the stroke of full time as Nigeria largely outplayed Cameroon.
This is the first time the Nigeria Eagles will be scoring more than a goal in a match at the 2023 AFCON after previously being held 1-1 against Equatorial Guinea and a 1-0 victory against host Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau.
Nigeria will face Angola in the last eight in Abidjan next Friday after the Angolans beat Namibia 3-0 in Bouake earlier on Saturday in the first of the knockout round games.
