In a historic achievement, the Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a 1-0 victory over Angola on Friday night, marking the first time the team has won four consecutive matches at a single Africa Cup of Nations edition without conceding a goal.
Under the leadership of coach Jose Peseiro, the Super Eagles are set to extend this remarkable streak in the upcoming semi-final against either Cape Verde or South Africa next week Wednesday.
The three-time champions, who initially began their AFCON 2023 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea, have since maintained an unbeaten record and currently possess the tournament’s strongest defense.
With the exit of football powerhouses like Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Ghana, Nigeria emerges as a strong contender for the coveted title.
