Galatasaray Star Scores & Assists in Dominant Display – Now Eyes Historic Clash with Hosts Morocco.

Victor Osimhen MOTM AFCON 2025

What a night for Victor Osimhen and the Super Eagles! The Galatasaray talisman was named Man of the Match after inspiring Nigeria to a convincing 2-0 victory over Algeria in their AFCON 2025 quarter-final clash at Stade de Marrakech on January 10, 2026.

Osimhen opened the scoring in the 47th minute with a powerful header, rising highest to break the deadlock and set the tone for the second half. Just 10 minutes later, he turned provider, delivering a precise pass that allowed Akor Adams (Sevilla) to round the keeper and slot home Nigeria’s second.

The 27-year-old forward has been on fire throughout the tournament, now boasting 4 goals and 2 assists in AFCON 2025. That puts him second on the top scorers’ list, trailing Morocco’s Brahim Díaz (5 goals) by just one.

Akor Adams sealed the deal with a clinical finish – here’s the young star celebrating his goal and paying tribute in style.

Osimhen was duly presented with the Man of the Match award – a well-deserved recognition of his all-around impact.

With this win, Nigeria marches into the semi-finals to face hosts Morocco next Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at the iconic Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The Atlas Lions await in what promises to be a mouthwatering showdown.

Under coach Éric Chelle, the Super Eagles are playing with confidence, flair, and clinical edge. Osimhen’s form could be the key to ending Nigeria’s long wait for a fourth AFCON title.
