Algerian captain Riyad Mahrez has given high praise to Nigeria’s national team after the Desert Foxes were eliminated from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Algeria fell 2-0 to the Super Eagles in Saturday’s quarter-final, with goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams sealing Nigeria’s place in the semi-finals.
Speaking after the defeat, Mahrez highlighted the promise of the Nigerian squad.
“Maybe it will be the time for Nigeria to win. They have a good generation but sometimes, you can have a good generation and you don’t win, but I think they have a good chance,” he said.
Nigeria, chasing their fourth AFCON title, will face Morocco in the semi-finals. The other semi-final will see Egypt take on Senegal.
