AFCON 2023: How Peseiro’s effective Super Eagles smothered basic Indomitable Lions
Jose Peseiro’s players have bought into the Portuguese manager’s approach, boding well for the Super Eagles’ ambition for a fourth African title.
Nigeria at AFCON 2023
The journey to a fourth title kicked off on a shaky note for the Eagles after coming from behind to survive eventual Group A winners Equatorial Guinea following an uninspiring 1-1, with Victor Osimhen the hero.
However, things have since looked different for the Super Eagles, with the William Troost-Ekong-led defensive unit in an inspired form since that in-famous opener.

This shutout against the Indomitable Lions in the round of 16 not only secured a spot for the Super Eagles in the AFCON 2023 quarterfinals but also positioned them as strong contenders for the ultimate prize.
Manager Jose Peseiro will be banking on the team's defensive resilience to persist as they navigate through the competition in Nigeria’s bid to clinch their fourth AFCON title.

Having last won the title 10 years ago in South Africa, Nigeria's journey to potential glory sees Angola as the next challenge. The Black Antelopes, who showed their attacking ability in a one-sided win against neighbours Namibia, are no strangers to Nigeria.
Peseiro and his Eagles are well aware that keeping their sheets clean again may be the key to ending the prolonged wait for a fourth AFCON title.

As they face the brilliant Angolans on Friday, the Super Eagles remain focused on maintaining their defensive solidity and progressing further in their quest for continental success.
