Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman netted twice, securing a 2-0 victory for Nigeria’s Super Eagles against Cameroon in the second match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Round of 16 at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium in Ivory Coast.
Lookman’s first goal, Truth Live News reports, came in the 36th minute after a precise assist from Napoli’s Victor Osihmen, putting Nigeria in the lead. He then sealed the win with a second goal in stoppage time.
The Super Eagles will now face Angola in the quarter-finals on Friday, February 2.
Recall that Angola had secured their spot by defeating Namibia 3-0 in the earlier round of 16 fixture played also today, Saturday.
