The Super Eagles need just a draw in their final group-stage match against Guinea-Bissau to secure progress to the last 16. However, with four of the best third-placed teams also advancing, there are multiple pathways for Nigeria to reach the knockout stage.

“This game against Ivory Coast was a big statement game for us,” said Osimhen, who won the decisive penalty after being brought down in the box by Ousmane Diomande.

“We needed to win and make a statement in a competition like the AFCON.

“It was important to start well. We waited for them in the midfield, waiting for them to make mistakes, but I am really happy about this win and we will keep on going from here.”

The reigning African footballer of the year said he “really didn’t mind” that coach Jose Peseiro told Troost-Ekong to take the penalty rather than him.informationguidenigeria
