Jonathan Wilson is on the scene. Here’s his match report:
“The greatest shock of all, perhaps, is when there is no shock. In a Cup of Nations in which reputation and pre-tournament billing has meant nothing, there was at last a game that went the way that might have been expected, as Ademola Lookman’s first-half goal and a fourth clean sheet in a row carried Nigeria to the last four of the Cup of Nations for the 16th time.”
And that’s the lot from me. Congratulations to Nigeria, and goodbye.

Osimhen was what you might call a constant threat this evening … Lookman and Iwobi also had excellent games. And collectively, Nigeria’s defence was extremely solid. They have quite some balance in that side.
