Ademola Lookman expresses confidence in the Super Eagles' ability to overcome the Palancas Negras in the upcoming quarter-final clash at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The match against Angola, led by Jose Peseiro's squad, is set to take place at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan this Friday.

Despite Angola's impressive campaign in Cote d’Ivoire, securing three victories out of four games, Lookman acknowledges that Pedro Goncalves' side will present challenges. However, he remains optimistic that the Super Eagles will secure a spot in the semi-finals.

Anticipating a tough match, Lookman told reporters, “It’s going to be a difficult game but we are looking forward to it. We fought hard for the win against Cameroon and won’t relent in the next game. The Angolan team is good, which will make the game more interesting. Our target is to go all the way, and we will fight hard to achieve that.”

Lookman, who has contributed significantly with two goals and an assist in four appearances, emphasizes the team's determination to continue their successful run in the AFCON 2023 finals.
