Nigeria Vs Morocco LIVE Score, AFCON 2025 Semi-Final: Osimhen Leads Super Eagles Against Atlas Lions

A bright start from the hosts, who have used their rapid forward line to press the Nigerian defence. It almost bears fruit too as Saibari makes a darting run into the box, but a crucial block prevents his shot from testing Nwabali.

Referee Daniel Nii Laryea blows his whistle, and hosts Morocco get the second AFCON semi-final underway. The winner of tonight's match will face Senegal in the final, so stay tuned!

Nigeria's Victor Osimhen is the joint second-highest top scorer of AFCON 2025 with four goals (along with Mohamed Salah). Coincidentally, the one with most goals is Morocco's Brahim Diaz.

Osimhen has a chance to overtake Diaz in the goalscoring charts. Interestingly, he is just two goals behind Rashidi Yekin's all-time record of 37 goals. A hat-trick tonight, and the Galatasaray striker will become the highest goalscorer in Nigeria's history.
