Stanley Nwabali: Super Eagles goalkeeper named Man of the Match, hails teammates for penalty AFCON heroics against South Africa
Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali named Man of the Match hails teammates for penalty AFCON heroics against South Africa.
Nigeria prevailed 1-0 in their previous group-stage matchup between these two teams, and their paths to the championship have been entirely different.
After an embarrassing 4-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea in their last group game, Ivory Coast's coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, was fired and his assistant, Emerse Fae, took over on an interim basis.
)
However, after defeating the reigning champions Senegal on penalties in the round of 16, they ignited into life and advanced to the knockout round as one of the top third-place finishers.
Nigeria has been tough and composed throughout the competition. They are undefeated and have only let up two goals in their six games.
Their only genuine worry came in the semi-finals when they defeated South Africa on penalties following an incredible game.
)
Both teams are quite strong, and Ivory Coast has advanced much from the group stage.
In their semi-final matchup with DR Congo, the team offered a far greater threat with forwards Simon Adingra and Sebastien Haller fully healthy.
Nigeria's immense attacking talent made them the clear favorites to be the tournament's biggest entertainers.
)
Even if Jose Peseiro's team has been playing well, there's a strong feeling that they could play even better.
It's hard to determine who has the advantage because both of these teams have been playing well in the knockout stage.
)
Super Eagles of Nigeria analysis
In addition to having only conceded twice in the competition, Peseiro's team plays a tough 3-4-3 system that adds to their potent counterattacking threat.
Because of the well-organized structure behind them, Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, and Moses Simon can stay high up the pitch and may immediately take advantage of opponents who are out of position when they get the ball.
)
One of the best players in the world of football, Osimhen's spectacular dribble earned Nigeria a penalty at a pivotal point in their semifinal match.
Lookman has scored three goals so far in the tournament, including two in the thrilling 2-0 victory over Cameroon and is his country's leading scorer.
)
Ivory Coast analysis
There has been a belief in the host nation that Ivory Coast is destined to win this AFCON ever since they barely made it into the knockout stage as one of the top four third-place teams during the group phase.
They have repeatedly been in danger of going out, yet they have always managed to live.
They beat Mali despite having 10 men for most of the game after Odilon Kossounou's sending-off, and Kessie scored a late equalizer against Senegal.
In the semifinal, Haller's volley beat DR Congo's goalie Lionel Mpasi.
In the competition two and a half weeks ago, Ivory Coast was the laughingstock.
They are now just one win away from winning the title of African champions.
Supported by a boisterous home audience and believing that fortune is on their side, the host country is sure they can finish what would be an incredible redemption arc.
