Super Eagles defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel has claimed that Algeria were scared of Nigeria during both sides’ AFCON quarter-final tie on Saturday.
According to the Birmingham City star, Algeria had no shot on target against Nigeria throughout the duration of the match.
Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams scored for Nigeria in the second half as the North Africans suffered elimination from the AFCON.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Osayi-Samuel said: “Algerians were scared of us, and obviously we took advantage of that and today was perfect.
“They didn’t have one shot on target, a team that scores a lot of goals. So we kept a clean sheet and scored two goals. We dominated the game.”
Osayi-Samuel, who was impressive against Algeria, will now hope to lead Nigeria to victory when they face Morocco in the AFCON semi-final on Wednesday.
