The Super Eagles of Nigeria will continue their quest for a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title against the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday.
This is at the ongoing TotalEnergies AFCON 2024 Côte d’Ivoire, with the match to be broadcast live on GOtv.
Ademola Lookman’s brace against Cameroon handed the Nigerians a third consecutive AFCON victory over the Indomitable Lions as they set up a crucial quarterfinal clash with Angola.

Speaking after his heroic display in the Round of 16, Atalanta forward Lookman assured fans that the team will be ready to challenge their latest opponent.
He said: “Angola are a good team.
“We’ll analyse them and prepare.
“The further you go, the tougher it gets.
“So we’ll take it game by game.”
Angola booked their place in the quarterfinal against Nigeria on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory against Namibia with 10 men.
Jacinto Dala scored a brace and provided an assist for Mabululu to ensure the Palancas Negras secured their first ever knockout stage victory.
Nigeria and Angola have clashed on 10 previous occasions.
The Super Eagles emerged victorious three times, drew five and lost two.
The Angolans remember with fondness their 1-0 victory over Nigeria in the 2006 World Cup Qualifiers, which ultimately proved decisive to their advancement at the expense of the Super Eagles.
