Morocco’s Brahim Diaz is the undisputed star of AFCON 2025, but Nigeria might be the strongest team in the tournament. They possess Victor Osimhen, one of the world’s most clinical strikers who scored the opening goal against Algeria, and two of the most underrated players in the Premier League in Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi.

Algeria vs Nigeria will kick off at 11 a.m. ET/ 8 a.m. PT in the United States. The match will kick off at 5 p.m. local time in Marrakech, Morocco, at the Stade de Marrakech. The match will be available to watch in the United States and in other countries through select TV channels and streaming services.

Osayi-Samuel’s performance was otherwise solid, as he played a key role in Nigeria’s defensive setup, helping the team shut out Algeria and continue their strong run in the tournament.

Nigeria’s second goal was born from another Iwobi “pre-assist”. His through-ball to Osimhen carried enough pace to break Algeria’s lines, but it was not so heavy as to make the chance difficult for the striker. Osimhen could have taken the chance himself, but unselfishly squared it to Adams, who rounded the goalkeeper to score.
