00:00the 29 year old FIFA official for the last four years gets us underway here in Fez it is knockout
00:11football for both Nigeria and Mozambique for Nigeria a side that's been and there and done
00:17that for the last 16 editions in succession for Mozambique a historic first-ever appearance in
00:24the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations Nigeria in green and black Mozambique tonight in
00:29the white with red trim and it's all to play for Super Eagles against us Mambas and they've showed
00:37they've got some venom at this tournament Sunday or he said on the face of it what are you most
00:42looking forward to tonight we are looking forward to a very offensive game from the Nigerians to
00:47really take take the fight out to the to the opposition but from what what I expected I'm
00:53already seeing it from because that because that's compact behind I'm hoping to go on on the counter
00:58carbon bassy before a ball forward towards the danger man you go wants to get involved in his
01:05calling for position is he will be brings it out towards say on the near side looks for a decent
01:10delivery and it's close to the keeper who claims confidently but very closely marshalled by us
01:17he's at the very edge of his technical area he will be looks for a cement how he's to safety and then
01:23the snapshot taken that is fended away out for the corner it goes Alexi will be looking to create
01:29something out of very little you would have thought he's gonna pass here one touch that looked like
01:37he was headed in maybe just wide in the air but still wanted taking no chances he's often proved to be
01:43the hero deep delivery the header is good it was cleared off the line still one who doesn't get there
01:56but Bruno Lange was in the way you can see this all over again well very well well played well it's that
02:04combination again look one you can you go on there very much a celebrated figure in Mozambican football
02:14and prolific striker in the 80s and 90s and now the coach has been in charge since 2021 Nigeria though
02:21looks a challenge and look what has his third Nigeria so quick in transition the delivery from
02:29out wide exquisite the finish superb and look fun has his fifth goal involvement for Nigeria look at
02:39this one from what we that thought the defense apart and before and the pullback well finished and what
02:45the finish from look month Mozambique had it under control until he will be was on the ball exactly he
02:53will be there's a lot of leadership for Nigeria suddenly on the park this team has talent left and right
03:00oh he will be another low look passing towards look but the deliberated light for luck or calls for it
03:07forward back post or see men it's terror Nigeria strike again five minutes ago Nigeria had liftoff now
03:17they're looking to soar kind of like a no look pass but this is this a difficult ball to play and to be
03:25able to give it the weight that the ball doesn't go oh who is there again mister OC I'm trying to oh it's
03:34my core who's got the slight touch that's what that's what disrupted Ray Nildo there was a deviation it
03:40was a very slight deviation the chance for three was apparent for Nigeria not claimed or si has it
03:47back and the pressure on Bruno lango that's heavy collision good here the contact from here
03:52some advantage being played but there will be a retrospective caution
04:00there's a huge difference this the flailing arm that's caught to Pilembe it's also killed cookies
04:08down detention a bit Akor Adams after the Iwobi pass Akor still going looks for his third
04:14international goal but pulls it slightly big
04:18has really given so much balance to this Nigerian side and it's made it easy and possible for the
04:32three musketeers in front that's OC men look one and I call to run loose this play is back underway
04:45Jenny getting involved game I now looks for Faisal descended by Shami Ajai is the referee signals
04:54halftime and an intense opening half here in phase that has seen a couple of yellow cards for Nigeria but
05:00importantly a couple of gold that's the end of the first half in Nigeria everything in a couple seconds
05:07so a couple of half time substitutions for Mozambique none for Nigeria Nigeria lead by two goals to nil
05:16well you want to dominate you want to have every so often at least a statement win but you also need to be concerned
05:24about the possibility of players being available for seven full matches for example here goes look but in and out
05:32looks for the pass he'll recover it as well back post teed up and finished Victor Simen with a delightful start for
05:40Nigeria it's three in the tournament for Simen it's three on the night for Nigeria
05:47two bucks look but tenacity to get this ball back and then feed
05:53see men getting there just ahead of Bruno Lange no fear of offside
06:01from behind the offside line it seems a bit of a clash of boots but enough to turn it in
06:08Sanji
06:12Victor Simon strikes there's something we have said many many times before
06:20what look money is just unbelievable he's having he's having the tournament of his lifetime and this is for
06:25when are you expecting to see substitutions given the three nil early lead well i think after the 60th minute
06:32square ball back post chance for another and steered wide by our site
06:37but you know it's difficult because there are certain players that would not want to leave
06:42the pitch and you will understand why for example i can understand when the simon will say no no no
06:47are you happy with the tempo and pace that nigeria are moving the ball with
06:50as they get the free kick underway now decent strike or simon was there couldn't turn it in
06:56look my might pulls it
07:03also at the pace at which the musa beacons are trying to play their own game in spite of the
07:09domination and the oh oh this was it simon was unlucky there
07:20once again lukeman once again each time they go on the attack i call osseman and lukeman
07:32danger academic command you get another 30-odd today
07:39the bassy oh that's a yellow foul in the yellow surely yes that's that's what we call the
07:46yellow card for mozambique this game
07:50you have to look at it from the other man's point of view too
08:00delivery silhuane will keep this out
08:06the most podium finishes by any team
08:11i believe nigeria has the most finals no they do
08:14akor adams parried away brilliantly by ernand silhuane a three-on-three potentially building now
08:24where's the simon
08:26look man
08:30wide akor adams tight angle drills it in has his third international goal and it's a defiant
08:36real
08:58it's a defiant realty free strike what a strike averaging three goals of a match that's championship
09:09quality look when i get involved look at this where he struck the ball really this is the most
09:16difficult part you don't hit it low by putting it in the air and with that's wow furious finishing
09:25for a man who likes to shoot like myself i can say
09:33class
09:36this is world class
09:39the way he moves to make himself free to avoid going into the upside position
09:46look man that was inches away from five
09:50simon watching on two goals for him on the night four for nigeria come back looking for number five
09:58then he'll do there again
10:01quick switch to the near side simon off the chest lovely into the path of deli bashiro come back
10:08is on players waiting in the pocket looking for his third of the tournament so i couldn't quite
10:14make it happen this time was the simon well well total yeah and the cutback oh
10:21to crazy watch you
