AFCON 2023: Ademola Lookman gives thanks to Osimhen for assist against Cameroon

In the Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals, where they will take on Angola.

Victor Osimhen's relentless pressing and intimidation of the Cameroon defense resulted in Ademola Lookman scoring in the 36th minute.

The Indomitable Lions were then held at bay by a team that has proven impervious at this AFCON, and in front of 22,085 spectators at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Lookman ensured victory in the 90th minute.

Several Super Eagles players were trending but one that stood out is forward Ademola Lookman.

The Atalanta forward put in a performance for the ages and was rewarded with the Man of the Match award.

Lookman has now given thanks to his strike partner Victor Osimhen for providing the assist.

On his official social media account he said, "thanks brother."

Ademola Lookman attributes the Super Eagles' victory over Cameroon, which enabled them to book their spot in the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals on Saturday, to the teamwork of his Nigerian teammates.

Speaking about Angola he said, "Angola are a good team. We'll analyze them and prepare. The further you go, the tougher it gets so we'll take it game by game."

Since 2013, Nigeria has been vying for their fourth championship. They're one step closer to breaking that drought thanks to Lookman's brace.
