In a tense encounter during the ongoing 2023 African Cup of Nations, Nigeria's goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, took a bold stand against Alex Iwobi following a critical mistake that nearly jeopardized their match against Angola.
The Super Eagles secured their place in the semifinals after overcoming Angola in a hard-fought battle, with Ademola Lookman's first-half goal ultimately sealing the victory for Jose Peseiro's squad.
Amidst the celebration, the spotlight turned to a dramatic moment when Stanley Nwabali confronted Alex Iwobi for an error that allowed Angola an opportunity to equalize. Iwobi's mishandling of the ball during a counter-attack left Nigeria vulnerable, narrowly escaping disaster as the opposing shot hit the crossbar.
