Nigeria’s Super Eagles will battle Angola in the quarterfinals at the ongoing African Nations Championship in Morocco.
The Angolans secured the draw they needed to reach the quarterfinals of the African Nations Championship as their final Group D game against Congo-Brazzaville ended goalless.
The stalemate also suited the Congolese who finished top of the group ahead of Angola at the tournament for locally-based players only.
Congo will face Libya in the quarterfinals, while Angola will play Nigeria.
Congo managed just two shots on goal with none of them on target, while Angola did manage one effort on goal from their seven as both sides earned the draw that suited them.
Angola knew a draw would be enough for them to advance while for Burkina Faso to progress they had to beat Cameroon and hope the Angolans lost to have any chance.
