Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen says there is no pressure on Nigeria ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against hosts Morocco. Nigeria will face Morocco on Wednesday night at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, with kick-off scheduled for 9 pm Nigerian time.
Morocco, who are hosting the tournament, are expected to enjoy strong home support inside the nearly 70,000-capacity stadium. However, Osimhen told CBS Sports Golazo that many players in the Nigerian squad are used to performing in front of even larger crowds and are not intimidated by the atmosphere.
