Nigeria qualified for the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations after overcoming Angola narrowly 1-0.
The offensive player Ademola Lookman became a hero for the "Super Eagles", scoring at the end of the first half. The Angolans had their chances, but they never managed to reach at least extra time and thus left the competition.
Nigeria awaits the winner of the match between Cape Verde and South Africa in contention for a place in the final.
The Nigerians are joined by the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the semi-finals. The team eliminated Guinea after a 3:1 win. Mohamed Bayo put the Guineans ahead from the penalty spot, but goals from Chancel Mbemba, Yoane Wissa from the penalty spot and Arthur Masuaku sent DR Congo into the last four of the tournament. The winner of the match between Mali and the hosts from Cote d'Ivoire awaits them there. /BGNES
