Super Eagles Whoop Cameroon To Advance Into Quarterfinals

The Super Eagles of Nigeria beat the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon 2-0 to advance into the quarter-finals of the ongoing AFCON 2023.

Ademola Lookman scored both goals as Nigeria defeated old rivals Cameroon 2-0 on Saturday.

The Nigerians had an early Semifinal goal disallowed following a VAR review in this last-16 clash before the constant pressing and bullying of the Cameroon defence by Victor Osimhen led to Lookman finding the net in the 36th minute.

The Super Eagles then kept the Indomitable Lions at bay before Lookman made sure of the victory in the 90th minute in front of 22,085 fans at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.

They will now return to the same venue for a last-eight meeting next Friday with Angola, who earlier defeated Namibia 3-0.
