The Super Eagles of Nigeria cruise through the group stage of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations winning all three of their games to finish top of their group, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
They will now face Mozambique in the round of 16 and ahead of the game, we take a look at five players of the Nigerian team who have been impressive since the start of the tournament.
Bruno Onyemaechi – Started as back up to Zaidu Sanusi at left back but did enough to snatch the shirt when he was given a start against Tunisia. In the two games he has played not only has he been solid defensively, he has also contributed in a positive way to the attack.
Raphael Onyedika – Scored twice in his first start and game at the tournament. Two well taken goals against Uganda showed he has eyes for goals from his role as a defensive midfielder.
Ademola Lookman – Two goals and two assists speaks enough of his ability to score and also create. He is having a good start to the tournament like it was in the last edition in Cote d’Ivoire.
Akor Adams – Has proven to be the perfect foil to Victor Osimhen in the attack of the team. The only thing missing from his all round impressive display is a goal or assist.
Alex Iwobi – Two assists and also has created so many clear cut chances. He is having a tournament to remember with top notch performance and he appears to have struck a very good partnership with Wilfred Ndidi in the midfield.
