And we’re underway in Morocco. The whistle cuts through the noise and AFCON 2025 is alive. Uganda get things rolling, bright in yellow and black, instantly snapping into shape, while Nigeria in their all-white strip settle in with that calm, heavyweight aura.

Just a minute gone, the crowd finding its voice, the first touches cautious but purposeful. Uganda look eager, Nigeria look composed, the early feeling is exactly what you’d expect.

That’s the breakthrough, and it’s been coming. Paul Onuachu makes no mistake this time. After fluffing a golden chance earlier, the big striker reacts on instinct, stretching a leg and stabbing the ball home from close range.

The move itself is slick. Nigeria zip it around with purpose, Dele-Bashiru darts into space and whips in a dangerous cross, and Onuachu is right where a number nine should be. One touch, net ripples, relief all around.

Uganda are stunned, the white shirts are suddenly buzzing, and Nigeria finally turn pressure into reward.

Uganda are pushing, throwing numbers forward, chasing that equalizer, but Nigeria are a wall right now, disciplined, sharp, and ready to snuff out any danger. Every Ugandan attack gets met with composure, every pass seems read before it’s even played.

The clock ticks, frustration creeping in, but Uganda keep probing. Still, the Super Eagles’ defense holds strong.

The teams are back on the pitch, and the tension is thick. Nigeria hold a slender 1-0 lead thanks to Onuachu’s 28th-minute finish, but Uganda know the clock is their enemy. Every pass, every move counts, a win is their only way to stay alive in AFCON 2025.

The whistle blows, the chase resumes. Can Uganda turn pressure into magic, or will Nigeria’s composure see them through?

And just like that, the Super Eagles are flying. Chukwueze dances past the Ugandan defense and threads a perfect pass to Onyedika, who doesn’t hesitate. One silky first touch, and he calmly pokes the ball through the keeper’s legs bo,ttom left corner, net bulging, Nigeria 2-0 up.

Uganda’s hopes are taking a serious hit. The crowd gasps, the Nigerians celebrate with flair, and the momentum is firmly in white’s favor now.

Fez is rocking as Nigeria put the game out of reach. Just five minutes after his first, Onyedika is at it again. Onuachu sparks a lightning-fast move, Chukwueze slices it across, and Onyedika tucks it neatly into the bottom right corner from 14 metres. Pure precision, pure class.

Uganda are shell-shocked, Nigeria are flying, and the Super Eagles are showing why they’re one of the tournament favorites.

The Super Eagles keep the pressure high. Chukwueze races down the right flank and whips in a teasing cross for Simon, darting towards the back post. But the Cranes’ defense stays alert, and Simon trips, losing the chance.

Nigeria still dominant, Uganda scrambling to find a foothold.

What a moment for ten-man Uganda! Okello, fresh off the bench, threads a clever pass to Mato, who lifts the ball delicately over Uzoho into the net. Precision, composure, and a reminder that the Cranes aren’t done yet.

It might be too little too late, but this goal injects some life and pride into Uganda’s fight. The Super Eagles’ lead is under the spotlight now, and the Cranes are showing they can bite even when down a man.

The Super Eagles aren’t settling. Chukwueze slides it neatly into Dele-Bashiru’s path on the edge of the box and he lets fly with his right foot, aiming from distance. Uganda throw bodies in the way just in time, a brave block keeps the scoreline from getting worse.

Nigeria smell more goals, Uganda are hanging on, and the tempo hasn’t dipped one bit.

Last rolls of the dice for the Cranes. Mato steps up, spots a sliver of opportunity from a tight angle and serious distance, and goes for glory. The strike lifts, the crowd holds its breath, but it sails just over.

Nigeria exhale, Uganda can feel the seconds slipping away.

That’s a wrap from Fez! Nigeria march into the last 16 with style, and Uganda’s fight ends here. We’ll be back with more live AFCON action soon. Bye for now.
