Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic has admitted that Nigeria’s Super Eagles deserved the 2-0 victory over his team in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations clash at the Marrakech Stadium on Saturday.
Nigeria dominated the match from start to finish as second-half goals by Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams secured the West African nation’s spot in the final four of the tournament in Morocco.
Addressing reporters at the post-match conference, Petkovic, whose team had neither lost nor conceded a goal before facing the Super Eagles in the tournament, acknowledged that Nigeria completely dominated Algeria throughout the match.
“Do I have to tell the truth, or should I be political (about the match)? Nigeria deserved to win this match,” Petkovic said. “They were better than us. It was difficult to get into this match. We were hit left and right.”
