Nigeria defeated Cameroon in the AFCON 2023 Round of 16, securing a place in the Quarterfinals of the tournament held in Ivory Coast. In the match at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the 'Super Eagles' triumphed 2-0.

Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 36th minute, capitalizing on an assist from Victor Osimhen. The shot by Lookman proved too much for goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa to handle. Notably, André Onana, the Manchester United goalkeeper, was on the bench.

Lookman sealed the victory for Nigeria with a goal late in the game (90'), securing their spot in the Quarterfinals. In the next round, Nigeria will face Angola, who advanced by defeating Namibia 3-0.
