Nigeria battled Angola in a crunch encounter in the African Cup Of Nations Quarter-final stage today at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny on Friday evening.
The Super Eagles performed incredibly in the game as they secured an important 1-0 victory over Angola thanks to Ademola Lookman’s only goal. A win from this encounter has now cemented Nigeria’s place in the semi-final stage as they remain determined to win the AFCON title this year.
Well, Ademola Lookman retained his position in the starting lineup for Nigeria in this encounter as he performed incredibly against Angola.
The Atalanta Forward showed his pure brilliance on the attack for the Super Eagles as he scored an important opening goal in the game, demoralizing the Angolan side.
The 26-year-old constantly pressured the opposition’s defense line with his fine runs into the 18-yard box, making himself an available option to receive passes from his teammates.
Well, I believe Ademola Lookman’s superb performance explains why he might be Nigeria’s best player at the moment in this AFCON tournament.
Based on statistics, Ademola Lookman is Nigeria’s best attacking-minded player in the competition, scoring three goals and providing one assist in his five appearances.
The Atalanta Forward has really stepped up to the occasion for the Super Eagles, proving to be a reliable player in the team’s attacking department. More good performances like this will be expected from him in the competition as Nigeria continues to push for the title this year.
