Lookman’s brace sends Nigeria past Cameroon to AFCON quarter-final

Nigeria’s Super Eagles on Saturday night qualified for the quarter-final of the 2023 African Cup of Nations after defeating the Indomitable Lions of Cameroun 2-0.

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman struck a deserved double to give the Super Eagles a comfortable win over Cameroon who rarely threatened the Nigerian goal.

Despite the win, Nigeria will be worried about the fitness of goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who was taken off injured after a collision mid-game.

With the victory, Nigeria will play the Angolan team in the quarterfinal had earlier in the day defeated Namibia 3-0 in the round of 16.
