Super Falcons legend Asisat Oshoala has sent a bold message to the Super Eagles ahead of their semifinal clash against host nation Morocco.

Nigeria made history at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by becoming the first team to win five consecutive matches, following a 2-0 victory over Algeria in the quarterfinal on Saturday, January 10.

The three-time AFCON champions dominated proceedings from the opening whistle but were unable to score in the first half, with Calvin Bassey’s header controversially ruled out despite appearing to cross the line.

The Super Eagles found their rhythm early in the second half as Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock, handing Desert Foxes goalkeeper Luca Zidane his first concession of the tournament.
