On Friday, February 2, Nigeria and Angola will play in the quarterfinals.

During the tournament, Onuachu has played a minor part, substituting in the final minutes against Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon.

Nigeria’s next opponents, Angola, have scored nine goals in four games, showcasing their inventiveness in the ongoing competition.

He stated that in order for the Super Eagles to play Angola with the same tenacity as they had during the AFCON, they must remain focused.

Like the other games, this one requires careful attention from us. When it comes to playing Nigeria, there is no easy opponent or game here, Onuachu told Hot Sports.

We will face more challenges when teams, particularly those who feel they are underdogs, want to prove they can defeat Nigeria.

It’s going to be a hard game since everyone is aware of the stakes and how ready we are to play Angola. My objective, the team’s objective, and the nation’s goal is to bring the cup back to Nigeria.
