Ademola Lookman scored the only goal in the first half as Nigeria defeated Angola 1-0 in their quater-fian AFCON encounter in Abidjan on Friday.

The winger was the difference as the Super Eagles made the last four in a match  between the highest and lowest ranked nations left in Ivory Coast.

The first ever AFCON match between both sides started with Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali called into action in the fourth minute to save Mabululu’s shot.

Osimhen would be on the next chance with a header that drew a comfortable save.

The Super Eagles shaded possession and made it count on 41 minutes when Simon was sent into space by Sanusi and the winger put it on the plate for Lookman to place his shot high into the net.
