The Super Eagles of Nigeria cruised into the AFCON 2025 semi-finals with a commanding 2–0 win over Algeria at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.
What made the victory even more remarkable were the incredible statistics: the Desert Warriors failed to register a single shot on target throughout the entire 90 minutes. Algeria also struggled to create any clear chances that could have tested Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabili, underscoring Nigeria’s dominance in both attack and defense.
Nigeria are through to their 16th AFCON semifinal appearance and and will face hosts Morocco in the semifinal of the tournament.
