The Super Eagles of Nigeria achieved a significant historical milestone with their 1-0 victory over the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday night. This marks the first instance where the Super Eagles have won four consecutive matches at a single Africa Cup of Nations edition without conceding a goal.
Under the leadership of Jose Peseiro, the team is poised to continue this impressive streak as they face either Cape Verde or South Africa in the upcoming semi-final on Wednesday next week.
Although the Super Eagles commenced their AFCON 2023 campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea, they have maintained an undefeated record since then and currently boast the most solid defense in the tournament.
With the elimination of other formidable teams such as Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Ghana, the three-time champions are now considered the favorites to clinch the title.
