In a highly anticipated quarter-final clash of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, head coach Jose Peseiro has decided to stick with a winning formula, keeping the starting lineup unchanged for Nigeria's face-off against Angola at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
The defensive structure remains solid, with vice-captain William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey maintaining their partnership in central defense. Ola Aina and Zaidu Sanusi will continue as right and left-wing backs, respectively, adding flair and defensive prowess to the wings.
In the heart of the midfield, Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi will once again take charge, providing the team with control and creativity. The talismanic forward, Victor Osimhen, will lead the attacking front, supported by the dynamic duo of Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon.
The starting XI for the Super Eagles is set as follows: Stanley Nwabali – Calvin Bassey, William Ekong (Captain), Semi Ajayi – Zaidu Sanusi, Ola Aina, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi – Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon.
As the team gears up for this crucial encounter, fans are buzzing with excitement and anticipation, hoping for another stellar performance from the unchanged lineup that has brought them success in previous matches. The stakes are high, and all eyes are on the Super Eagles as they aim to secure a spot in the AFCON 2023 semi-finals.
