00:00 Let's get you some sports news now and Nigeria has beat Angola 1-0 to reach
00:05 the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals. A short time ago I spoke to
00:10 Frost24's James Vecina who's covering the event for us in Ivory Coast.
00:15 Nigeria have done what the Super Eagles do that means to take a nice
00:20 controlled win beating Angola at 1-0 there. Managing to keep everything under
00:25 control as they have been in the last few games to make it through. Once again
00:28 now to the semi-finals. As you can imagine fans who you can see around me
00:32 are happy with this win. I'm with one fan here Amoro who's come over to watch
00:37 the game here in Abidjan. What did you make of that game tonight?
00:40 We deserve this winning. We don't make it to the last World Cup and this Africa Cup.
00:45 We lost so many players like Boniface, players like Ndendi. We don't have Sode.
00:50 So we have to win this game. We deserve to win it. I've kept the team. I've been so
00:55 working hard to win the game so we deserve it. So it's good to win this game
00:59 and make the fans, everyone proud. We are proud of the boys. We are proud of the
01:03 boys. We are going to take it to the semi-finals. You think they can go all the way?
01:06 We are going to win this trophy. We are Nigeria. We believe in our players.
01:11 They can do it for us. We have players like Victor Osime. There you can see Lukman.
01:16 You managed to find the goal once again. Tell me please, tonight you think
01:20 the Super Eagles can go to the final again this time? Yes, we believe that
01:24 Nigeria can get to the final. We are very happy. We are taking match after match.
01:28 We must stay humble. We are proud of our country. Our objective was
01:33 semi-final but now we reached semi-final. We are looking forward to the final and to carry the
01:37 cup to Nigeria. Is Nigeria taking things easy because it's one nil win, two nil win,
01:42 taking things nice and slowly but not getting any goals in, very importantly?
01:45 You know Nigeria is the best. The best thing is not to conceive goals.
01:49 Nigeria have a good defense and a good keeper. So when we score goals, the football
01:55 is always finished. So we are proud of our defense and our keeper. We were a little bit
01:59 afraid because our keeper was injured but now he came back. We are secure and we are
02:04 happy for this match today. Well there you go. That's the secret to of course
02:08 winning a game is not letting any goals in which is what Nigeria have done
02:12 almost perfectly so far in this tournament. Just one goal so far. Again
02:16 tonight keeping another clean sheet and Andemoda Lukman finding the goal
02:20 once again to make it three goals for him in this in the last two games.
02:24 Victor Osime, unfortunately for him, thought that he had goals but that he
02:27 had scored a goal but that was ruled offside after a check for him. Yet to
02:31 find the net in the most recent games but as you can see fans here are very
02:35 confident that that attack will take them much much further but for now
02:38 there's a semi-final that's still to prepare.
