 “The win is important. We knew it was not going to be easy,” Musa said.

“All we had in our mind was winning the game and we are glad to do that at the end of the day.

“We expected that we would win, but we have to keep our head calm,” he added.

“We scored the first goal but they equalized. We knew the goal would eventually come and had to be patient. Finally, it came in the 90th minute.”

“They should keep supporting us. It’s good that Egyptian fans came out to support us. We want to say thank you to them for everything,” he concluded.

Nigeria will now face favorites Algeria in the semi-finals on July 14 at 9pm local time in the Cairo International Stadium.
