Sunday Recap

Nigeria were forced to dig deep to maintain their aspirations at CHAN 2018, and they found the magic formula when hope appeared to be over.

Okpotu stunned Angola as the referee prepared to blow the final whistle, and they never recovered from the shock in extra time.

Va deflected the ball over the line for Angola after 55 minutes, and they appeared good for their lead as the Super Eagles coughed and spluttered.

The Nigerians hit the woodwork in the second half as they scrambled for an equaliser, but it seemed they would be departing the competition as the 90 minutes were up.

However, Okpotu was in the right place at the right time as the ball fell to his feet in the final seconds, and the player sparked scenes of rapture as he poked the ball over the goal line.

Gabriel had missed a number of chances in normal time, but he displayed composure to fire home and give his team the victory they craved.

CAF provided pictures from the game:

Libya had to battle against Congo in their quarter-final match, but the Mediterranean Knights were victorious in a penalty shootout.

Saleh Taher gave the Libyans an early advantage in the first half, but Junior Makiesse scored the equaliser for Congo after 32 minutes.

The second half was a stalemate, leading to extra time, but neither side would concede any ground as the match reached its conclusion.

Libya held their nerve in the shootout despite Congo's superiority in attack, and they finished their five penalties with aplomb to capture a 5-3 victory—with Sand Masaud hitting the final spot-kick.
