AFCON: Ademola Lookman shines as Nigeria thrash Mozambique 4-0 at AFCON 2025

Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman was named Man of the Match after a stellar performance in the Super Eagles’ dominant 4-0 win over Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Sport360NG reports.

The Atalanta attacker set the tone for Nigeria’s victory by opening the scoring and providing two key assists, guiding the team to a comprehensive triumph that secured their place in the tournament’s next round.

Lookman’s first-half strike broke the deadlock, and his creativity and intelligent movement continued to trouble the Mozambican defence throughout the match. His vision, work rate, and incisive play underlined his central role in Nigeria’s attacking efforts.

The Man of the Match award underscores Lookman’s growing impact on the tournament, as the Super Eagles build momentum in their pursuit of continental glory.
