Nigeria’s triumph over South Africa in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final has garnered praise from European football clubs, with Napoli and three others expressing their excitement.
Following the Super Eagles’ 4-2 victory via penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw, Napoli took to Twitter to congratulate @victorosimhen9 and @NGSuperEagles, while Fulham celebrated their players Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey in a tweet. Brentford hailed Nigeria’s progress to the AFCON Final, and Atalanta offered their congratulations to @Alookman and @NGSuperEagles.
Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, who was named Man of the Match for saving two penalties during the shootout, played a crucial role in the team’s success. The Super Eagles will now face Ivory Coast in the highly-anticipated final showdown on Sunday.
