Published on: 05 January 2026

Ademola Lookman was voted Man of the Match after a superb all-round performance in Nigeria’s dominant 4–0 win over Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report.

The Atalanta forward played a decisive role in the Super Eagles’ victory, scoring the opening goal and supplying two assists to help secure qualification to the next stage of the tournament.

Lookman set Nigeria on their way with a composed first-half finish, before continuing to dictate the tempo in attack. His intelligent movement, creativity, and relentless work rate consistently unsettled the Mozambican defence.

Throughout the match, he created multiple scoring opportunities for his teammates, underlining his importance to Nigeria’s attacking structure.

The Man of the Match recognition reflects Lookman’s increasing impact at AFCON 2025, as the Super Eagles build confidence and momentum in their pursuit of continental success.
