Oliseh hails Lookman, Iwobi as Super Eagles crush Mozambique 4-0 at AFCON

Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has praised Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi for their starring roles in Nigeria's emphatic 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the AFCON Round of 16 on Monday night. The match took place in Fes, Morocco.

Lookman delivered a man-of-the-match performance, scoring one goal and providing three assists. Iwobi was instrumental in the buildup to the Super Eagles' opening two first-half goals, with Oliseh highlighting his 'pre-assist' pass that 'tore the defense apart' during commentary on CAF TV.

Oliseh specifically praised Iwobi's vision and passing, stating: "What a finish from Lookman. The goal is what we talk about, but it is the pass that comes before the assist. What a pass. We must give kudos to what Iwobi is doing."

The comprehensive win secures Nigeria's place in the quarter-finals. The Super Eagles are scheduled to travel to Marrakech on Thursday for their next match.
