Super Eagles booked their place in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with a commanding 4–0 victory over Mozambique in their Round of 16 encounter on Monday night at the Fez Stadium, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 21st minute, capitalising on Nigeria’s early dominance. Victor Osimhen doubled the lead five minutes later with a well-taken finish. Shortly after the restart, the Napoli striker struck again to put the game firmly beyond Mozambique’s reach.
