Algeria, Nigeria To Face Off In AFCON 2025 Quarter-Finals

Algeria and Nigeria are set to meet in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Fennec Foxes booked their place in the last eight with a late 1-0 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo.

After a tense 90 minutes that ended goalless, it looked like the match would be decided by penalties. However, in the 118th minute, Adil Boulbina cut in from the left and fired a stunning strike to secure victory.

The Super Eagles advanced on Monday following an emphatic 4-0 victory against Mozambique in Fez, setting up the eagerly anticipated clash with Algeria.

The quarter-final showdown will take place on Saturday, January 10, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm local time.
