In a milestone achievement, the Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a historic 1-0 win against Angola, marking their first-ever four consecutive match wins at a single Africa Cup of Nations edition without conceding a goal. The team, led by Jose Peseiro, is now poised to extend their streak in the semi-final match next week, where they will face either Cape Verde or South Africa.
The three-time champions commenced their AFCON 2023 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea’s Nzalang Nacional and have maintained an unbeaten record since then, boasting the most robust defense in the competition. Following the elimination of powerhouse teams such as Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Ghana, the Super Eagles have emerged as the frontrunners for the championship title.
