The Super Eagles book semi final spot in the AFCON 2023 tournament.

Nigeria was the first side to book their place in the AFCON 2023 semi final, beating Angola 1-0 on Friday. Ademola Lookman again looked to be the hero, finishing off a good run from Moses Simon in the 41st minute to score his third goal of the tournament. Victor Osimhen also headed the ball to the back of the net but the goal was ruled out for offside. This first half goal was enough to secure their semi final place, where they will have either of Cape Verde or South Africa. Nigeria have qualified for the semi final round in 13 of their last 15 AFCON appearances and will once again be hoping to clinch the title.
