AFCON 2025: Live Updates – Algeria 0–2 Nigeri

Nigeria tightened their grip on the AFCON 2025 encounter against Algeria as the Super Eagles maintained a 2–0 lead, continuing to trouble the North Africans with dangerous crosses into the box.

The Eagles came close to extending their advantage when Bruno Onyemaechi delivered another teasing cross that found Victor Osimhen unmarked. The striker rose highest to head the ball goalward, but Algerian goalkeeper Zidane reacted quickly to deny Nigeria a third goal.

As the match progresses, Nigeria appear confident and in control, while Algeria face mounting pressure to respond and keep their AFCON hopes alive.
