Nigerian and FC Nantes winger, Moses Simon, showcased his exceptional talent on the field as he was voted the man of the match for his stellar performance against Angola in the quarter-final match of the AFCON.
Playing a pivotal role in the Super Eagles' victory over Angola, the 28-year-old winger contributed significantly to Nigeria securing their place in the semi-finals of the ongoing 2023 African Cup of Nations tournament.
Ademola Lookman's crucial goal in the first half sealed the win for Jose Peseiro's side, with Simon instrumental in the build-up. It was Simon's well-timed pass that set up Lookman, highlighting his ability to create opportunities with his pace and vision.
Throughout the game, Moses Simon exhibited flashes of brilliance that delighted fans. One particular highlight, captured by sports journalist Pooja, showcased Simon's exceptional dribbling skills as he effortlessly maneuvered past two Angola players, advancing into the box from the left flank.
Despite Nigeria's dominance, Simon's skillful moves could have led to a further increase in their lead. After bypassing the two Angola players with his deceptive footwork, he attempted a shot that was ultimately blocked, denying him the opportunity to further impact the scoreline.
