Morocco have advantage, but we can reach AFCON final – Osimhen

Super Eagles assistant captain, Victor Osimhen, has admitted that Morocco hold an advantage over Nigeria ahead of Wednesday night’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash due to the backing of their home supporters.

Osimhen, who is expected to lead the team in the absence of suspended captain Wilfred Ndidi, spoke ahead of the crucial encounter, acknowledging the challenge posed by the Atlas Lions on home soil.

The Galatasaray striker, however, expressed confidence that the Super Eagles have what it takes to secure a place in the final.

“They have a very good squad, talented players, but I think we are one of the most feared teams in this tournament,” Osimhen said told CBS Sports Golazo, in a video that was shared on X on Tuesday.
