27 Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman has been named the Man-Of-The-Match award in the team’s 2-0 win over Cameroon in the round of 16 of the Saturday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Lookman, who was at his best mettle, scored the opening goal for Nigeria in the 36th minute after Napoli goal poacher Victor Osimhen set a perfect assist to put Nigeria ahead.

The Nigerian international sealed the win in the 90th minute after one of the game’s best moves, volleying home Calvin Bassey’s cutback to spark huge celebrations among the three-time champions.
The Super Eagles will meet Angola, who impressed in a 3-0 win over Namibia earlier, in the last eight on Friday, also in the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium.
Should Lookman replicate this kind of performance further in the tournament, Nigeria will feel they have every chance of winning a fourth AFCON title.
