Super Eagles Take on Mozambique in AFCON Round of 16

Nigeria will face Mozambique tomorrow in a mouth-watering Round of 16 encounter at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with the Super Eagles heading into the clash full of confidence following an impressive attacking display in the group stage.

The three-time African champions emerged as the most potent attacking side of the group phase, scoring eight goals, the highest tally recorded so far in the competition.

The impressive performances underline Nigeria’s attacking depth and growing confidence as the tournament enters its decisive knockout stage.

History also favours the Super Eagles ahead of the last-16 showdown. Nigeria and Mozambique last met at the Africa Cup of Nations during the final group match of the 2010 tournament, a game Nigeria dominated with a convincing 3–0 victory.

Overall, both sides have met five times in all competitions, with Nigeria maintaining an unbeaten record of four wins and one draw against the Mambas.

Tomorrow’s encounter kicks off at 8:00 pm.
