Confirmed – Super Eagles To Face Algeria In AFCON Quarter Final

The senior national team of Nigeria will take on Algeria in the quarter final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Yesterday Nigeria sealed a spot in the quarter final with a resounding 4-0 win over Mozambique, but had to wait till today to know their next opponent between Algeria and DR Congo.

Alegria nicked the tie with a late goal in the final minute of extra time after both teams were locked in 0-0 after regulation time. Their reward is a clash against the Super Eagles.

It will be a repeat of the 2019 AFCON semi final, which Algeria won with a late goal from Riyad Mahrez. The game will be played in the Moroccan city of Marrakech on Saturday by 5pm Nigerian time.
