UPDATED: Nigeria defeat Cameroon, qualify for AFCON quarter-final

Two goals from Ademola Lookman, one in each half, helped the Super Eagles soar 2-0 over Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions in Saturday’s round of 16 clash.

Coach Jose Peseiro reinstated Alex Iwobi, Zaidu Sanusi, and Lookman as he continued to deploy the 3-4-3 formation. The Eagles were the better from the start and laid siege to the Cameroon defence and effectively kept the Lions at arms.

In the ninth minute, Semi Ajayi’s goal was disallowed due to a marginal offside, but the Eagles dominated the pace, ensuring goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali had no saves to make.
