Prior to the match, the Desert Foxes had conceded just one goal, but Nigeria’s intensity, tactical organisation, and clinical finishing after halftime proved decisive. Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 47th minute with a powerful header from a Bruno Onyemaechi cross, and Akor Adams doubled the advantage 10 minutes later after a smart assist from Osimhen, following a build-up involving Alex Iwobi.
Throughout the match, the Super Eagles dominated possession, created numerous opportunities, and limited Algeria to zero shots on target. Late substitutions, including Moses Simon, helped Nigeria maintain control and close out the game comfortably.
President Tinubu took to his verified handle shortly after the final whistle to celebrate the team’s performance, writing, “Brilliant performance… inspiring. Go, Super Eagles! You have the support of all Nigerians,” and adding the hashtags #Naija4TheWin and #AFCON2025.
Victor Osimhen, speaking after the match, expressed gratitude to Nigerian fans worldwide, saying, “This victory was not easy, and I’m happy that the team got the win against Algeria. We will continue to build on this momentum and hopefully get to the final and win it.”

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has argued that the North is not disadvantaged in Nigeria’s power-sharing arrangement under democratic rule.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Atiku made the statement during an interview on Arise Television, where he spoke on zoning, fairness, and political balance in the country.
He noted that since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999, the South has held the presidency for about 18 years, while the North has governed for roughly 10 years.
According to him, this should be taken into account when discussing which region has benefited more from the country’s power rotation system. He also maintained that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains the only major political party with zoning clearly embedded in its constitution.
“The South has governed for 18 years and the North for 10. So who is really in deficit if we are being fair? Even more broadly, the only party with zoning formally entrenched is the PDP,” he said.
Atiku also recalled the constitutional conference held during the military era under General Sani Abacha, where he led a group that opposed the inclusion of rotational presidency in the constitution.
He said the proposal, championed by the late former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, was rejected at the time because his group had majority support among delegates.
According to him, Ekwueme later acknowledged that the decision may not have been ideal during his funeral years later. Atiku added that he now believes a rotational system, if adopted earlier, could have ensured a more balanced distribution of power across Nigeria’s regions.
