Key stats NGA v ANG: Osimhen most shots; Lookman most fouled; Aina top tackler; Onyeka top aerial duels 

Nigeria became the first team to book their place in the semifinal of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations having beaten Angola by a solitary goal on Friday evening.

Allnigeriasoccer.com takes a look at the key statistics from the game at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan.

While Victor Osimhen didn't get on the score sheet once again, he was far from being passive as he recorded 4 shots which was the highest in the game.

Alongside Frank Onyeka, he shared the accolade for most aerial duels won with the Napoli forward and Brentford midfielder winning 4 apiece in the game.

Match-winner Ademola Lookman was the most fouled player having been brought down 5 times for the entire duration of the game.

With 77 touches, Ola Aina came top in the Nigerian squad for the most touches recorded in the game, which is further proof of how excellent the Nottingham Forest fullback has competed but it was Show who had the highest in the game with 80.

Additionally, nobody attempted more tackles (4) than the Cobham product, same as Angolan midfielder Fredy but couldn't match Kialonda Gaspar for most clearances with the latter recording 8 in the tie.

The 27-year-old also registered 2 key passes, the joint best among his Nigerian teammates but was outdone by Fredy who had 3.

Unsurprisingly Moses Simon completed 2 dribbles which is unmatched by anyone in the Super Eagles squad but couldn't better Tó Carneiro(4)

Show finished the game as the most aggressive player having conceded 5 fouls for the entirety of the game.
