Figures cited by Daily Post show that the Nigerian Super Eagles have emerged as the most prolific scoring side in the group stages of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Finishing at the top of Group C with a perfect nine points, the team netted eight goals, the highest tally of the tournament so far.
The statistical dominance is supported by CAF data, which shows Nigeria leading in ball possession with an average of 66% and recording more shots on target than any other competing nation. The attacking quartet of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Akor Adams has been credited with the team’s clinical efficiency in the final third.
The Guardian Nigeria validated the team’s momentum, noting that ‘Nigeria’s attack is shaping youth expectations’ and driving a surge in continental pride. Furthermore, Vanguard reported that the team is now a clear favorite for the title, stating: ‘The Super Eagles are currently the most potent attacking team.’
Echotitbits take: The Super Eagles finally seem to have found the balance between flair and finishing. However, as the tournament enters the Round of 16, the focus must shift to defensive discipline, as knockout football rarely favors teams that neglect their backline.
