Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has cautioned that Nigeria’s semi-final clash with host nation Morocco will be far from straightforward, but expressed strong confidence in the team’s ability to rise to the occasion.
Osimhen spoke after Nigeria’s impressive 2–0 victory over Algeria on Saturday, a result that sealed the Super Eagles’ place in the last four of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
“Hopefully, one game at a time. It is not going to be easy for us, but I believe in this squad, and I believe in the players,” the Napoli forward said.
The in-form striker has now scored three goals for Nigeria in the ongoing tournament and will be hoping to extend his tally when the Super Eagles face Morocco on Wednesday.
According to reports Osimhen also reaffirmed his commitment to winning the AFCON title for Nigerian fans following the quarter-final triumph over Algeria.
“To the Super Eagles fans, thank you so much for your support worldwide. This victory was not easy, and I’m happy the team got the win against Algeria,” he said.
“Thank you for your support. We’ll continue to build on this momentum, and hopefully, we’ll get to the final and win it,” Osimhen added in a video shared on X by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
