The Super Eagles kicked off their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco on a positive note, as goals from Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman were enough to give Nigeria a 2-1 win over Tanzania on Tuesday evening.
Nigeria began the game on a positive note, controlling the tempo of the possession. However, in the 6th minute, Samuel Chukwueze’s left-footed shot went straight to Tanzania goalkeeper Zuberi Foba.
The Eagles netted the opening goal from the resulting corner kick as Semi Ajayi headed Alex Iwobi’s well-tailored cross straight into the back of the net in the 35th minute.
Ademola Lookman extended Nigeria’s lead in the 52nd minute of the game as he placed the ball beyond the reach of Tanzania goalkeeper.
