In the third and final group match in Group C of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), Nigeria, currently third in the group with two points, faces Ethiopia, who is at the bottom of the group with one point. Nigeria must win to have a chance of reaching the quarter-finals, while Ethiopia needs a victory and hopes that Zambia does not win against Burkina Faso to advance.
Emmanuel Emenike, known for his speed and power, is expected to play a crucial role in Nigeria’s attacking strategy. Despite missing a penalty, John Obi Mikel’s performance in the previous match against Zambia was noteworthy. Ethiopia, on the other hand, looks to Adane Girma, their primary scorer in the tournament, to make an impact and secure a surprise victory.
The outcome of this match will determine which team advances to the quarter-finals from Group C. Nigeria will aim to secure a win and keep their hopes alive, while Ethiopia looks to create an upset and continue their journey in the tournament.
