Substitute Adil Boulbina scored in the 119th minute to give Algeria a 1‑0 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo in their Round of 16 match at Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat.
His dipping shot, which clipped the underside of the crossbar, denied the tie a penalty shootout and sent the North African side through to face the three-time AFCON champions.
The quarter-final match in Marrakesh on Saturday promises a continental derby, with both sides boasting a long-standing rivalry.
Historically, Nigeria and Algeria have met 22 times, with Algeria winning 10 encounters, Nigeria nine, and three ending in draws.
Nigeria famously defeated Algeria 3‑0 to win their maiden title in 1980, while Algeria claimed their first crown in 1990 with a 1‑0 win over the Super Eagles.
Following Algeria’s win, Nigeria has begun preparations for the high-stakes encounter.
The Super Eagles held a full training session at the Sardienne Complex, involving all 26 available players, including young defender Ryan Alebiosu, who is continuing his recovery.

The Opawole and Daniel families mourn the passing of their beloved matriarch, Chief Mrs. Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, née Osoba, who died peacefully after a brief illness on Thursday 2nd of July, 2026 at the age of 93.
Born on 23rd April 1933 to Princess Mariam Ladigbolu of the revered Ladigbolu family of Oyo Kingdom and the Late Rev. O. Osoba of Olodo Village, Abeokuta, the late Princess Sabainah lived a long and graceful life anchored in faith. She was a devoted Christian of the Baptist denomination until her passing, and her life stood as a quiet testament to devotion, family, and enduring values.
She is survived by several children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, including Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, former First Lady of Ogun State and wife of Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel. Her passing has drawn an outpouring of condolences from family, friends, and associates across Ogun State and beyond, many of whom remember her as a woman of grace, strength, and unshaken faith.
The family has confirmed that funeral arrangements will be announced publicly in due course, and has appealed for prayers and understanding as they navigate this period of loss.
