Ademola Lookman follows up his brace in the Round of 16 with the opener in the quarterfinal. The first half appeared to be ending as a barren when Moses Simon skips past a couple of challenges on the left and squares in the box for Lookman to lash home the goal in the 41 minutes setting the stadium into frenzy.
The 41 minute goal by Lookman has been described as the finest goal Nigeria has scored so far in this competition, ValidViewNetwork reports.
A fine header by Victor Osimhen was disqualified leaving the game at 1-0 in favour of Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Nigeria’s performance tonight appeared to be better than previous matches. Their defence was resolute in the face of Angola’s verve and up front, they tormented their opponent though the goals did not come as expected. They won by a single goal but they have made a very loud statement, ValidViewNetwork reports.
