Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has brushed aside reports of a disagreement with Victor Osimhen, insisting that Nigeria’s victory mattered far more than any on-field misunderstanding.
Speaking after Nigeria’s emphatic 4–9 win over the Mambas of Mozambique, Lookman described the incident as insignificant, stressing that the team’s success remains the ultimate priority.
What matters most is that we won,” Lookman said at the post-match press conference. These things happen in football. We are focused on the team, and the result shows that.
The Atalanta star delivered a dazzling performance, emerging as Man of the Match after scoring once and providing two assists in a thrilling contest that showcased Nigeria’s attacking firepower.
Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams also found the back of the net as the Super Eagles overwhelmed their Mozambican opponents with pace, precision, and ruthless finishing.
Nigeria’s commanding display sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the competition, underlining their growing momentum and depth as the tournament reaches its decisive stages.
With confidence high and goals flowing, the Super Eagles will now turn their attention to the last eight, where they are set to face either Algeria or DR Congo—a clash that promises to test their title credentials.
For Lookman and his teammates, however, the message is clear: unity, focus, and winning football remain the only priorities as Nigeria’s AFCON dream gathers pace.
