Nigeria survived waves of Morrocan attack to go into halftime goalless against morrocco in their AFCON 2025 semi finals.
Hosts morrocco cheered on by a vociferous home crowd came out all guns blazing in the game and were very dangerous in attack giving Nigeria very little time to settle on the ball.
Defender Semi Ajayi was especially sloppy in defence while Raphael onyedika failed to settle into the game.
Calvin Bassey was booked for a non existent tackle on Morrocan winger Brahin Diaz and will now miss a potential final/Third place match.
Nigeria would hope to improve massively in the second half to stand a chance in the game.
