00:00Important midfielder, who holds off anybody who comes near him and distributes the ball really well.

00:08Cameroon, oh it's Osimed, Osimed, Osimed, can he find his goal?

00:13Oh it's a beautiful opportunity there, Lokman has got it, they get the goal!

00:18Unbelievable, the scenes here, the Nigerians jumping with joy,

00:23and I thought that at one moment it wasn't going to go in, but crikey, they get the goal.

00:28The Super Eagles take full advantage, Osimed reading it, ball out wide, Lokman coming up,

00:34and the shot comes in, squirms underneath and a kerfuffle at the end.

00:38That's what happens when a player gives you 120%, when a player is playing with his heart.

00:43You can see the goal came out of nothing, we didn't even see it coming,

00:47but he continued putting that pressure and then he got tangled into it with the player,

00:51he got the ball and he was very smart enough to raise his head up

00:56to see the incoming player and he just, you know, look at the tangle,

01:00and then he saw it coming, he rolled the ball to him, we thought the goalkeeper got it,

01:03but the ball crossed the line.

01:05Look at that, Osimed just dealing so well, getting in front of him,

01:10that first touch, you've just got to hit it, he's got acceleration like nobody other,

01:15beautifully done, deals with it, takes in the players.

01:20They will get that space because Cameroon will definitely come out looking for an equaliser.

01:25Lukman, Lukman, Alex Iwobi gets the ball out to the left-hand side,

01:28the delivery comes in...

01:30Oh, it's a great goal! They've got a goal, Nigeria!

01:33Goal number two, that is fabulous, fabulous play.

01:37Oh, the follow-up, the pass and the shot was just sublime.

01:42Nigeria are soaring high, that's surely the final word,

01:48the final statement, the top flights of the Super Eagles.

01:53Brilliant play, I'm just trying to see who actually finished it up,

01:58I think it was Lukman.

01:59I think it was Lukman, that's his brace.

02:01There he is, Lukman, look man, it's me!

02:04You can see the excitement from the Nigerian team,

02:08you can see the excitement from the dugout,

02:10and you can see the excitement from the Nigerian spectators in the crowd.

02:14I can see a lot of good faces, that's a good combination played,

02:19and they did it sound right.

02:22Stands over this...

02:26William Trostekom.

02:32Straight down the middle and Nigeria lead,

02:35stellar, sublime, soaring Super Eagles.

02:39Is this the seminal moment in the game?

02:45Celebration in the Stade de la Paix.

02:50The battle is still very much on, but Nigeria have drawn first blood.

02:56Yeah, Brennan, the crowd just rose again,

02:58just like they did at the Victoria Falls in Zambia.

03:01I mean, Ekong definitely did his homework there on Ronwin Williams,

03:05and he just went down the middle because he knew that Ronwin Williams

03:08was going to dive to his left.

03:10Ademola, Lukman to take it.

03:13Kelser towards the near post, flick on from Chukwesi,

03:16Trostekom, goal!

03:18Goal, Nigeria!

03:20Trostekom's third of the tournament,

03:23strong header from a corner,

03:25and the Super Eagles are in the lead.

03:28The Super Eagles are in the lead indeed.

03:30We talked about Trostekom, for me he's one of the best players so far,

03:34he's been strong and solid on the defence.

03:37I remember when we said that Nigeria hold back,

03:40the coach has a game plan, stick by,

03:42you can see Kano's reaction to the goal.

03:45They sit back, absorb the pressure,

03:48and they get one chance, and they break,

03:51and they're in the lead.

03:54High up in the air, and Trostekom rises above the defence.

04:00They'll be very disappointed, the Ivorians,

04:02the way they've conceded,

04:04but credit here to the Nigerian captain.

04:09No chance for the keeper, it was high, it was looping above him.
