Nigeria also remain the only team with a hundred percent record in the competition.
Ighalo is predicting a difficult duel for the Super Eagles against Walid Regragui’s men but is upbeat they will reach the final.
“The players must be mentally ready for the game. They will be under pressure against Morocco. You know the Moroccan team is young, they are mobile, and very fast on the ball too,” Ighalo told SuperSport.
“If Nigeria want to win that game,the players must put it in more effort than they did against Algeria, and silence that stadium. I believe they have the ability to do that.”
