Here is the breakdown of the news and reactions following the match:
The "New" Victor Osimhen
One of the biggest talking points tonight was Victor Osimhen playing without his signature protective face mask. Fans on social media were quick to point out that "Maskless Osimhen" seems even more dangerous, as he netted two goals in just 47 minutes. Before being substituted in the 68th minute to rest for the quarter-finals, he was the clear Man of the Match.
Historic Scoring Record
Nigeria has made history at this tournament. With tonight’s 4–0 win, the Super Eagles have now scored 12 goals in just 4 matches. This is the highest tally for any team at this stage of the competition in recent history. Analysts are calling this the most "ruthless" Nigerian attack since the 1994 "Golden Generation."
Akor Adams: The New Hero?
While Osimhen and Lookman get the headlines, Akor Adams was the silent engine of the team tonight. He provided two assists and capped it off with a stunning 15-meter strike for his first-ever international goal. His chemistry with the front two has solved the "striker partner" problem that Coach Eric Chelle had been trying to fix.
The Road to the Trophy
The atmosphere in Fès, Morocco, was described as "electric," with thousands of traveling Nigerian fans out-singing the Mozambique supporters. Nigeria has now officially moved into the Quarter-Finals, where they will face the winner of the Algeria vs. DR Congo match.
Fun Fact: This result repeats history; the last time Nigeria played Mozambique in an AFCON match (2010), the score was also a dominant 3–0/4–0 victory for the Eagles.
