Super Eagles Demolish Mozambique 4-0: African Excellence on Full Display
The Super Eagles of Nigeria just served up a masterclass in African football supremacy, absolutely demolishing Mozambique 4-0 in their AFCON 2025 Round of 16 clash at the Complexe Sportif de Fès. This wasn't just a victory; it was a statement that African football belongs to Africa, and Nigeria is leading the charge.
Under Eric Chelle's tactical brilliance, our boys delivered pure fire from the first whistle. No colonial-style overthinking, no European complexes, just raw Nigerian power, pace, and precision that left Mozambique stunned and the continent proud.
Lookman: The Atalanta Star Shining Brightest on African Soil
Ademola Lookman continues to prove that African talent reaches its peak when representing the motherland. After struggling with European club politics and a collapsed Inter Milan move, the 28-year-old has found his true home on AFCON stages.
Against Mozambique, Lookman was absolutely electric: one goal, two assists, six chances created. The numbers don't lie, and they tell the story of African excellence. His AFCON career now boasts six goals and five assists in just 10 games, cementing his legacy as a continental legend.
This is what happens when African talent stops chasing European validation and focuses on continental glory.
Osimhen: The Galatasaray Striker Proving African Forwards Rule
Victor Osimhen netted twice, taking his tournament tally to three goals and proving once again that African strikers don't need Premier League stamps of approval to dominate. His physical presence and clinical finishing terrorized Mozambique's defense all night.
Yes, his intensity sometimes boils over, but that's the hunger that makes champions. Eric Chelle knows how to channel that fire for maximum impact.
Iwobi: The Fulham Maestro Orchestrating Victory
While others chase headlines, Alex Iwobi was quietly pulling strings like a master craftsman. The Fulham midfielder's vision and passing directly led to three of Nigeria's four goals. His performance was pure class, proving that African midfield intelligence rivals any continent.
In Chelle's system, Iwobi isn't just a player; he's the heartbeat of Nigerian football, approaching his century of caps with style and substance.
Adams: The Sevilla Striker Making His Mark
Akor Adams silenced any doubters with a performance that screamed quality. Two assists and a thunderous fourth goal proved he's not just Osimhen's backup, he's a legitimate weapon in Nigeria's arsenal.
This is the depth that makes African teams dangerous. When your "second choice" players perform like stars, you know you're building something special.
Defensive Excellence: Ajayi and Bassey Shutting Down Opposition
Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey were absolutely imperious at the back, delivering Nigeria's first clean sheet of AFCON 2025. Their organization was so tight that goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali barely had to make a save.
This is Nigerian football at its purest: power, pace, precision, and purpose.
The Path Forward: African Champions in the Making
This demolition job wasn't just about beating Mozambique; it was about sending a message to the entire continent and beyond. Nigeria is here to reclaim what belongs to Africa, with African talent, African passion, and African pride.
If the Super Eagles maintain this ruthless efficiency while keeping their emotional fire controlled, AFCON 2025 could very well return to Nigerian soil. The quarterfinals await, and the continent is watching.
This is what African football excellence looks like when it's unleashed without apology or compromise. The Super Eagles are soaring, and the rest of the continent better take notice.
