Nigeria secured a significant stride toward the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations last 16 with a decisive 1-0 victory over hosts Ivory Coast in Group A. The pivotal moment unfolded in the 55th minute when Ousmane Diomande fouled Victor Osimhen in the box, leading to William Troost-Ekong's powerful penalty kick. Despite the resilient support from the crowd, the Ivorians struggled to breach the solid Super Eagles defense. This triumph propels Nigeria to the second spot in Group A, trailing leaders Equatorial Guinea, who earlier defeated Guinea-Bissau 4-2 on Thursday.
