The striker highlighted that they scored their first point and are now targeting their first victory in the tournament. If successful, Niger would achieve a historic qualification for the quarter-finals, marking a significant achievement in the country’s football history.
The determination and positive mindset displayed by players like Moussa Maazou showcase the spirit of underdog teams in continental tournaments, as they aim to defy expectations and create surprises on the big stage.
