Super Eagles winger, Simon Moses has expressed delight with the team’s 1-0 victory over Angola in the quarter finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nation on Friday.
Lookman, scoring his third goal of the knockout stage courtesy of Moses Simon’s perceptive pass during a rare instance of Angola’s defence leaving too much space inside their box.
Recall that the Nantes star was brilliant as his dazzling runs and dribbles caused lots of nightmares for the Palancas Negras.

“I am really happy for the victory against Angola and I feel very happy because the win is for Nigerians.
“I really appreciate the support Nigerians have given to the Super Eagles and they should keep supporting us.”

Quality written all over you!
Simon has always been quality. He does have off days like any other player but he remained a great player. I pray God to reward this great servant of our football with the converted cup come 11th of February.
Moses Simon should move to Man U; i DON’T know what he’s still doing in Nantes….at least, one last dance in mainstream Europe before he finally retires; just like Ighalo…….smh!
