Akor Adams also played a crucial role in the victory as he, like Lookman, registered a goal and two assists to set up a last eight tie against either Algeria or DR Congo in Marrakech.

There were early warning signs for Mozambique when Osimhen saw a goal disallowed by VAR for offside in just the second minute, but Nigeria eventually broke the deadlock in the 20th minute when Lookman sent Adams's cut-back into the top-right corner.

Osimhen then got his first of the match soon after with a simple finish from Adams's centre, while his second came early in the second half as he was on hand at the back post to turn Lookman's pass across the goal into the net.

Lookman was the provider once again in the 75th minute, this time playing Adams into the box before the Sevilla forward sent a powerful strike past Ernan Siluane at the near post.

Moses Simon tested the Mozambique goalkeeper late on after Raphael Onyadika failed to hit the target with an attempt of his own as Nigeria had to settle for a 4-0 win at Complexe Sportif de Fes.
