Following Nigeria’s 2–1 win against Tanzania in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday, Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi insisted that Eric Chelle’s squad does not rely solely on attackers for goals.
Two goals from Ajayi and Ademola Lookman, who plays for Atalanta, secured all three points for the Super Eagles against the Taifa Stars.
Reflecting on the encounter, Ajayi stated in his post-match interview, “We [Super Eagles] had an amazing tournament in Ivory Coast.
“We are using that experience [in Ivory Coast] as our standard [in this 2025 AFCON in Morocco].
“We’re a team that we don’t need to get goals only from the attackers, it is pleasing [for me] to contribute to the success of the team.”
