Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, stated that the team is improving with every match at the present Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

Lookman said that the Eagles were ready to dominate the competition after his brace helped Nigeria defeat the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon 2-0 in their Round of 16 match on Saturday in Abidjan.

The win, according to the diminutive winger who won the TotalEnergies Man of the Match award, was a team effort.

“Wow, we’re so happy to qualify for the quarter-finals.

“The more we play together, the more fluid we become. I’m standing here now but this award reflects the whole team’s performance,” the Atalanta player said after the win against Cameroon.

Lookman appreciated the support from the Nigerian fans in the stands for giving the team the push to defeat the Cameroonians.

“I love this atmosphere, it’s incredible. Tonight our fans pushed us to the end because this was Cameroon, and when you wear the Super Eagles shirt, some games resonate more than others,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Atalanta player said all attention would now be focused on the Angola game on Friday in Abidjan.

“Angola are a good team. We’ll analyse them and prepare.

“The further you go, the tougher it gets. So, we’ll take it game by game,” he said.
