The Nigerian national team overcame Algeria in the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations. Goals from Osimhen and Adams secured the victory for the Super Eagles.
After the final whistle, tempers flared on the pitch as players from both sides were involved in a heated altercation that almost escalated into a full-scale brawl. It took several minutes to separate the main instigators, but no disciplinary action was taken by the referee.
Recall, in the semifinals the Nigerian team will face the tournament hosts, Morocco.
