CAN 2025 – semi-final / Nigeria – Morocco: intense duel, no goals at half-time

The semi-final between Nigeria and Morocco lived up to expectations in terms of intensity, if not on the scoreboard. In front of more than 60,000 fans cheering for the Atlas Lions, the clash delivered a first half that was dense, fast-paced, and fiercely contested, yet without a single goal.

Far from being intimidated by the atmosphere, the Super Eagles showed real character. Bold in their intentions and sharp in transition, the Nigerians launched numerous attacking moves, forcing Morocco to remain alert and disciplined in their defensive setup.

For their part, Morocco responded with composure and patience, looking to control the tempo without taking unnecessary risks. With the score at 0-0 at half-time, both teams proved they were up for the challenge. The question now is whether they can turn this intensity into efficiency after the break.
