Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has said his focus is now on the quarter-final clash with Angola.
The three-time champions zoomed into the last eight at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations following a 2-0 victory over perennial rivals Indomitable Lions of Cameroon at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Saturday night.
Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman scored both goals for the West Africans.
The Super Eagles will lock horns with the Palancas Negras on the same ground next week Friday.

“We will now focus on our next match against Angola, which is having an excellent tournament,”the Portuguese told the media at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium.
