Super Eagles Beat Angola to Reach AFCON Semi Finals
By Binta Nuan
The Super Eagles of Nigeria has defeated Angola by a lone goal to qualify for the semi-finals of the ongoing All African Nations Cup, AFCON, in Ivory Coast.
Nigeria were the first side to book a semi-final berth at the Africa Cup of Nations after Ademola Lookman’s first-half goal ensured a 1-0 win over Angola in the last eight on Friday.
Lookman finished off a flying run down the left by winger Moses Simon, who skipped the challenge of defender Kialonda Gaspar to break free and then teed up his team mate for his third goal of the tournament.
The three-time continental champions advance to a last-four tie next Wednesday against Cape Verde or South Africa in the central Ivorian city of Bouake .
