Three prominent European football clubs—Sevilla, Club Brugge, and Trabzonspor—have celebrated Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Uganda at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles maintained their 100% record in the tournament on Tuesday afternoon at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, securing the top spot in Group C with nine points.
A clinical first-half opener from Paul Onuachu and a sensational five-minute brace from Raphael Onyedika in the second period ensured the three-time champions headed into the knockout phase with maximum momentum.
Sevilla, the Spanish La Liga outfit, utilized their official social media channels to highlight the contribution of Akor Adams, who helped the national team secure their third consecutive win in Morocco. The club expressed pride in the striker’s involvement as the Nigerian side continues its dominant run on the continental stage.
“Minutes for @AkorjeromeAdams in a 3rd win in a row for Nigeria at AFCON. The Super Eagles are flying!” Sevilla shared via their official X account.
Club Brugge also joined the celebrations, focusing on the remarkable efficiency of their midfielder, Raphael Onyedika. The 24-year-old earned the Man of the Match award after scoring two goals in rapid succession to dismantle the Ugandan defense following a red card for the Cranes’ goalkeeper.
“Two goals in only 5 minutes at the @CAF_Online for Rapha! @NGSuperEagles,” the Belgian side wrote on X.
Meanwhile, Turkish club Trabzonspor honored their powerful forward, Paul Onuachu, who successfully redeemed himself after earlier misses by stabbing home the opening goal in the 28th minute. The club posted a commemorative image of Onuachu’s celebration under head coach Éric Chelle, acknowledging his vital role in the team’s offensive success. These reactions highlight the significant global interest in the Super Eagles’ campaign as they prepare for a Round of 16 encounter on January 5, 2026.
