AFCON 2023: Lookman Upbeat Super Eagles Will Beat Angola

Ademola Lookman is confident the Super Eagles will get past the Palancas Negras in their quarter-final clash at the

2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Jose Peseiro’s men will be up against Angola at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Friday.

The Angolans have enjoyed a stellar campaign in Cote d’Ivoire, winning three out of their four games.

Lookman reckoned Pedro Goncalves’ side will make difficult things for the Super Eagles but is upbeat they will secure a place in the semi-finals.

“It’s going to be a difficult game but we are looking forward to it,” he told reporters.

“We fought hard for the win against Cameroon and won’t relent in the next game.

“The Angolan team is good which will make the game more interesting. Our target is to go all the way and we will fight hard to achieve that.”

Lookman has scored two goals and provided an assist in four appearances for Nigeria at the AFCON 2023 finals.
