Afcon 2019 EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria have the ability to beat Algeria – Ighalo

Nigeria forward Odion Ighalo believes they are up to the challenge against Algeria in the semi-final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles are set to make their 14th appearance in the last four stage – the most by any team – at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.

Ighalo, who is currently the joint-top scorer in the tournament, believes they need to take their chances and avoid mistakes against Djamel Belmadi’s, side who have conceded just one goal so far in Egypt.

“We are happy we are in semi-finals now, it was difficult from the first game until against South Africa but it is how the tournament is in Africa,” Ighalo told Goal.
