Former Super Eagles midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju, has urged Nigeria to stick with the approach that has brought success so far as they prepare for Saturday’s quarter-final showdown with Algeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The three-time continental champions cruised into the last eight with an emphatic 4-0 demolition of Mozambique in the Round of 16, while Algeria had to dig deep, requiring extra time to edge past DR Congo.
Reacting to Nigeria’s dominant display, the 1994 AFCON winner praised the team’s progress and warned that the Desert Foxes will pose a sterner challenge.
“Yeah, it was a very good win and I would rather say it was a statement win. They really played very well and got the goals, which is what has been expected throughout this tournament.
“We have been improving game by game and I just hope that the improvement will continue in the quarter-finals. I mean, it was tremendous and the play was good. Yes, it was total dominance from the Super Eagles over the Mozambicans. It was a very good win.
“Hopefully, we will be able to replicate the same performance against Algeria, who will be another difficult side.”
