AFCON 2025
)
The Super Eagles have officially set the gold standard for attacking football at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria has rewritten the AFCON 2025 record books with a historic offensive display that should send a warning to every remaining contender in Morocco.
The Super Eagles' demolition of Mozambique didn't just secure quarter-final qualification, it established them as the first team in this tournament to score four goals in a single match, cementing their status as the competition's most feared attacking force.

Nigeria vs Mozambique: Osimhen's attitude stinks as Iwobi steps out of Okocha's shadow
Victor Osimhen's childish attitude overshadowed Alex Iwobi's brilliant performance as Nigeria thrashed Mozambique to book their spot in AFCON 2025 quarterfinals.
)
21:36 - 05.01.2026
Nigerians have hailed Alex Iwobi following his performance in the first half against Mozambique in their round of 16 tie.
The Numbers Don't Lie
With 12 goals across four matches, Nigeria's scoring rate towers above every competitor at AFCON 2025.
No other nation has managed more than two goals in any single fixture, making the Super Eagles' four-goal explosion against the Mambas a statistical outlier that highlights the gulf between their offensive capabilities and the rest of the field.
)
The achievement provides concrete evidence of what opponents have been discovering the hard way: when Nigeria clicks going forward, they're virtually unstoppable.
Victor Osimhen's brace, Ademola Lookman's continued brilliance, and Akor Adams' breakout performance represent an attacking trident that has proven too hot for defenses to handle.
)
Firepower as Championship Currency
Tournament history suggests defensive solidity wins championships, but Nigeria is challenging that conventional wisdom with overwhelming attacking quality that compensates for occasional defensive vulnerabilities.
Eric Chelle's side isn't just outscoring opponents, they're burying them under avalanches of chances, sustained pressure, and clinical finishing that turns half-chances into goal after goal.
The four-goal milestone, one short of what Chelle wanted, against Mozambique wasn't a fluke; it was the natural culmination of a tactical approach designed to overwhelm rather than outlast.
Before Nigerian fans start measuring for trophy cabinets, the uncomfortable truth must be acknowledged: dominating Mozambique isn't the same as dismantling Senegal, Morocco, or Ivory Coast.
)
The Super Eagles have feasted on opponents who lacked the defensive organization, tactical sophistication, or individual quality to weather their attacking storms.
The real test arrives when they face elite teams capable of absorbing pressure, exploiting Nigeria's defensive lapses, and punishing mistakes with equal ruthlessness.
History is littered with AFCON teams that scored freely against weaker opposition only to freeze when facing championship calibre defenders who understood how to neutralise their threats.
The four-goal record means nothing if it flatters to deceive, a hollow achievement that masks underlying vulnerabilities waiting to be exposed.
)
What the Milestone Actually Proves
That said, you can only beat what's in front of you, and Nigeria has done so with emphatic authority. The four-goal barrier represents more than statistical bragging right, it demonstrates:
Clinical finishing: Nigeria converts chances at a rate no other team has matched
Tactical fluidity: Multiple players contributing goals suggests systematic attacking patterns, not individual brilliance
)
Psychological momentum: Scoring freely breeds confidence that permeates the entire squad
Depth of talent: Rotation hasn't diminished offensive output, indicating quality beyond the starting eleven
The Verdict
Nigeria's Super Eagles have established themselves as AFCON 2025's offensive benchmark, becoming the first and only team to breach the four-goal mark in a single match.
)
Their 12-goal tally represents the most potent attacking threat in Morocco, providing statistical ammunition for claims they're genuine title contenders.
But statistics don't win knockout tournaments, nerve, defensive discipline, and performing when pressure peaks determine champions. The four-goal milestone proves Nigeria can destroy inferior opposition.
Whether they can maintain that firepower against elite defenders who won't crumble after 25 minutes remains the million-dollar question.
The quarter-finals will provide answers. Until then, every remaining team in Morocco knows one undeniable truth: when the Super Eagles attack, records fall and dreams shatter.
Just ask Mozambique.
