Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has disclosed that the team had a convincing victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen steered home a long cross from the left by Bruno Onyemaechi two minutes into the second half on Saturday as Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane made a bizarre jump to try and stop the effort but ended up getting his angles wrong and conceding an easy goal.
Adams increased Nigeria’s lead 10 minutes later as Osimhen unselfishly fed him the ball, and he took it around Zidane before placing it into an empty net.
Speaking with Footy Africa, Dele-Bashiru stated that the players had to put into practice what they had worked on on the training ground.
