00:00 [Band playing]

00:05 Who's going to make it into the final four?

00:08 Oh, so much excitement, we can't even measure it, Anthony.

00:12 Nigeria will start every...

00:16 Oh, it's a great opportunity, they're already inside of the penalty box

00:18 and there's a bit of a flustered situation.

00:21 Can they get a shot in Nigeria?

00:23 Half the shot blocks just in front of the penalty area.

00:26 Trying to censor, so keep an eye on him.

00:28 The show gets the ball out wide.

00:30 Gilberto gets rid of his man, nicely done.

00:33 Maradonu, can he get his crossover?

00:36 It's dealt with, but here's the resulting corner.

00:40 Into the house, it headers, oh, it's off the post!

00:43 Look at this!

00:44 And it's still in play, I think it just rolled out.

00:46 It's going to be another corner, absolutely.

00:49 So as a defender, you need to have a very good timing.

00:51 And he's tall as well.

00:53 Here is the resulting corner to the penalty box.

00:55 It's headed away and picked up by that man, Gilberto.

00:58 But he's unable to do it.

00:59 They get the ball back, an opportunity here.

01:01 Oh, it's a nice sneaky little piece of play from that man, Lokman.

01:05 He's scored two goals.

01:06 Mo Simon, there's another chance to get the ball across.

01:09 Lokman, both players on the right-hand side, it comes out.

01:12 Sharp Nigerian attack.

01:15 There's the delivery coming in, it's hit quite hard there.

01:18 There's a chance for Iwobi, he's going to try and chip the ball over.

01:21 It doesn't go for a shot.

01:22 It gets flicked over into the path of Trichy Kong.

01:26 Can't get anywhere near it, cleared it is by Gaspar.

01:29 And see if there's any body to flick it towards any of the players.

01:33 Trichy Kong is right up deep in the penalty.

01:35 It's gone right up high.

01:37 And it is once again dealt with by Gaspar.

01:40 They pick the ball up once again.

01:41 It's a good spell of pressure.

01:42 This is for Nigeria.

01:44 But that was well done by Ossieman.

01:46 You know, he asked for the ball, he got it.

01:49 But then he gave it well into the space to Yusuf.

01:52 Nicely done by Moses Simon.

01:54 There's the delivery.

01:55 Ossieman with the header!

01:57 It's gone high, a little bit too high.

02:00 And Watchton dealt with perfectly there by Doming.

02:04 Ah, there's a chance that's cut in.

02:06 Moses Simon picks it up.

02:08 There's a cross, there's players at the far post as well.

02:11 Comes in and he's going to have it from Ossieman.

02:13 He is super dangerous.

02:15 That man, the Napoli forwards.

02:18 Lost to Egypt in the quarterfinals in Comasi 2-1 in 2008.

02:23 Oh, it's gone loose.

02:24 Is there a chance?

02:25 Can he find a chance to get a shot in?

02:28 Well, it doesn't happen there.

02:30 Delivery Zeydou, just getting the ball through.

02:32 Ah, yeah, Othman just trying to keep hold of possession.

02:37 He does find Moses Simon.

02:39 Tries to get the touch.

02:40 Oh, he just can't thread the ball through to himself.

02:42 And who's there to cover?

02:44 Gaspar.

02:45 Angola is playing with a lot of confidence.

02:47 [WHISTLE BLOWS]

02:49 Got Sandala.

02:50 Got Sandala.

02:51 Here he is, down the left-hand side.

02:53 Gets the ball in.

02:54 Oh, he's nearly picked it up.

02:55 That was a crazy cross that nearly found Estrella.

03:00 And he's got a couple of strikers waiting to pounce on that.

03:02 Ready, drops it over the top, taken out of the air.

03:06 Snatched out of the air by Nwabadi.

03:08 They give the ball back.

03:10 An opportunity once again.

03:11 Giberto, Giberto, tries to get rid of his man.

03:13 Puts it on his left foot.

03:14 There's the cross.

03:16 There's Lukman, who tries to drop it into the penalty box.

03:20 Little bit of space.

03:20 Surely got to go for a shot.

03:22 And-- oh, I know.

03:24 He can basically throw it all the way to the corner flag

03:26 on the other side of the pitch.

03:27 Sometimes the ball comes in.

03:28 There's an opportunity.

03:30 And look, I told you, it's Ossieman.

03:32 Super dangerous.

03:33 It comes way over the top.

03:35 The flag's gone up, by the way.

03:36 But still--

03:37 On the right side or left side?

03:38 Cleared before it got in.

03:44 That's a good opportunity.

03:46 Little bit of space.

03:47 Ossieman on the left-hand side.

03:48 Can he get a shot in?

03:49 Squares it.

03:50 It's in the back of the net.

03:52 Nigeria is Lukman.

03:54 Lukman's done it.

03:55 He's got that goal.

03:56 Beautiful work from the wingers.

03:58 The wingers come together and jump with joy and celebrate.

04:03 Nigeria take the lead.

04:05 The celebrations follow.

04:12 The Super Eagles take the lead here in Abidjan.

04:17 Moses Simon dancing down the left side.

04:21 Sure is buzzy.

04:22 Wingman, Lukman, and Nigeria celebrate.

04:28 Already how he both change sides.

04:31 And then that was his flaggishness of Gaspar.

04:37 He's not the fastest player you see.

04:39 And Moses Simon goes in.

04:41 Very good vision.

04:46 You know, he lifts his head and gives the right pass.

04:52 Wonderfully played.

04:53 But already how he both changed the side to have that vision.

04:57 And then Moses Simon giving a great pass.

05:02 Anybody who knows anything about Eagles

05:05 knows that they've got amazing vision.

05:08 That was pinpoint accurate.

05:13 Bertrand into the middle.

05:15 Little through ball.

05:16 Super dangerous pass.

05:18 And it takes a deflection off Shuster-Kong and goes out.

05:21 Every player wants to finish this game after 90 minutes.

05:28 Everybody wants to look like Osimene as well.

05:30 That is beautiful, isn't it?

05:31 Yeah.

05:32 I mean, it's hot here, to say the least.

05:34 But to actually try and look like--

05:35 Still on the ball.

05:36 Simon, Simon down the left-hand side.

05:38 What options does he have?

05:40 Oh, Gaspar's come back.

05:42 Gaspar does a ridiculously good job.

05:45 He was already gone.

05:46 He was already gone.

05:47 There's the halftime whistle.

05:49 Nigeria lead Angola by one goal to nil.

05:52 Heading into the halftime break.

05:54 Stay with us.

05:55 We'll show you the best from the opening half

05:56 after this short break.

06:05 Jay, they are standing very solid at the back

06:08 with two great defensive midfielder in front of them,

06:11 Onyeka and Iwobi.

06:13 So for me--

06:14 And we've got a quick free kick that's taken.

06:16 And the opportunity.

06:17 Osimene, Osimene tees it up.

06:19 Alex Iwobi!

06:20 And it takes a wicked deflection and goes out.

06:23 It goes down into the left-hand side.

06:24 That's nice and neatly done.

06:26 And picks up here with an opportunity.

06:28 It's teed up.

06:28 Oh, the shot!

06:30 But it's high, wide, and away from danger there from Zanu.

06:34 But that's perfect.

06:35 And again, comes out wide.

06:38 That's a nice opportunity here.

06:39 Look at it!

06:40 Can he get the ball across?

06:41 There's no one there.

06:42 Osimene's just going, ah!

06:45 There's a bus queue in the middle.

06:47 The ball comes over the top.

06:49 Anybody at the end of it, shoots the goal.

06:51 It goes up.

06:52 There's another chance, another header!

06:53 It's just gone over the top.

06:55 Osimene just getting involved there.

06:56 And of course, a little bit of a--

06:59 Oh, they're giving the ball back.

07:01 But Iwobi picks it up.

07:03 It's a little bit messy in the midfield.

07:05 Show again, the ball--

07:06 Oh, Angola!

07:07 Angola has come on the post!

07:09 And it's been cleared by Tuesday Cove!

07:11 Oh, my word!

07:12 How come--

07:12 With substitutes coming on.

07:14 But I think already they've found themselves

07:16 in a pretty good position.

07:17 It's been picked up down the left-hand side.

07:19 Where are they going with this?

07:20 Oh, it's into the goalkeeper's hands.

07:22 Normani.

07:23 They go down this left-hand side.

07:25 Now Moses Simon.

07:27 Oh!

07:27 Moses Simon skins two players.

07:30 What's he going to do?

07:30 On the right front!

07:31 Oh, he's going to get blocked.

07:33 Oh!

07:34 That was pure magic.

07:35 The wizard at ease down this left side.

07:37 Zeydou might be the player who'll take this.

07:41 Zeydou with a shot!

07:44 It's taken well by Dominique.

07:46 Went the right way, saw it coming.

07:48 Brasi with his passes.

07:50 Super pressure, big pressure.

07:52 Watch out, Moses Simon.

07:53 He gets the ball in.

07:54 Onyeko gets the ball over.

07:56 It's cleared.

07:56 Up that man.

07:57 Mavaludo gets down with it.

08:00 Long-range shot!

08:02 But not a great long-range shot.

08:04 There's the delivery into the penalty box.

08:09 Osman!

08:10 Oh, it's gone in!

08:12 Osman!

08:14 He's got his goal!

08:16 Oh!

08:18 Nigeria get their second.

08:20 Goalkeeper couldn't keep it out.

08:22 The powerhead of that Napoli man.

08:24 The Super Eagles are off.

08:27 Two goals to nil just at a time when Angola

08:32 they need to win a couple more matches.

08:34 But look at this.

08:35 Is there an offside call?

08:37 But what did I predict?

08:47 Yeah, you said two.

08:49 Second goal.

08:50 So first of all,

08:52 will it be checked by VAR?

08:55 Because Osman looked like he was marginally offside.

08:58 He looks very, very tight.

09:01 Marginally offside, I think.

09:03 The powerhead, look at that.

09:07 Get up, hit it hard.

09:09 And not even, you know,

09:11 a top-class goalkeeper like Dominique

09:15 can stop it from going in.

09:16 I can't believe it.

09:18 That's his trademark here.

09:19 And he took it off.

09:22 This is the goal they needed.

09:31 That was the same thing against Cameroon.

09:34 Ah, he might check.

09:36 Yeah, but they...

09:36 Yeah, they have to check.

09:38 I mean, I'm...

09:40 It's not a goal.

09:46 No.

09:47 It's...

09:47 Oh, it's a cooling break.

09:53 And it's going to be a goal kick.

09:55 A free kick, sorry, for offside.

09:57 One nil.

10:00 One nil.

10:00 No goal.

10:01 There's an opportunity here.

10:04 And there he is, Lugman.

10:05 Sets it up.

10:06 Oh, what was he thinking?

10:07 Osman!

10:08 Osman!

10:09 Oh, he has his shot blocked.

10:11 Doesn't get the goal that he...

10:14 Given the all-clear on Jaka, races on.

10:15 Back into the heart of the action.

10:18 Ah, Zangola, try and get the ball across.

10:21 But you don't want to get it.

10:22 Dangerous play.

10:24 Lovamu, very dangerous.

10:25 Puts it on his left foot.

10:26 Lovamu!

10:27 Punched away.

10:28 By the goalkeeper, Noa Bali.

10:30 Still in possession.

10:31 Picked up by Toukamer.

10:32 The dangerous Mavolulu.

10:36 Very quickly, because this is not a time to have one player less.

10:40 Moses Simon.

10:41 Moses Simon trying to take on Gaspar.

10:44 Oh, he's still got legs.

10:45 Oh, Moses Simon.

10:47 Does really well.

10:48 Gets the ball to Lugman.

10:50 Mavolulu running out of space.

10:53 Back heels the ball.

10:55 An opportunity to get a delivery.

10:57 And it's not a bad one as well.

10:58 Goalkeeper.

10:59 The goalkeeper, Noa Bali.

11:02 He has been outstanding.

11:03 Comes to the rescue.

11:04 Scoring equaliser.

11:06 Here's the delivery into the penalty box.

11:10 Anybody on the end of it?

11:11 Goes at him.

11:11 That's it.

11:12 The final whistle has been blown.

11:16 Nigeria goes through.

11:18 The celebrations begin for the Super Eagles.

11:21 They continue to soar.

11:23 Lugman's goal in the 41st minute.

11:26 The difference.

11:27 And Nigeria advance to the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

11:35 As they defeat Angola by the slimmest of margins.

11:39 A one goal to nil scoreline eliminates the side ranked number 117 in the world.

11:47 What a journey it's been for Angola.

11:51 Going up against an absolute powerhouse here today in Nigeria.

11:57 And they reach the semi-finals.

11:59 Thank you so much for watching.

12:01 From Antonio Aquilino, Dividendo.
