Femi Azeez delivered a sensational performance to inspire Super Eagles to a 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe national football team in the semi-final of the Unity Cup, earning the Man of the Match award for his outstanding display, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The forward scored both goals in a commanding attacking performance that secured Nigeria’s place in the tournament final.

Azeez opened the scoring in spectacular fashion just five minutes into the encounter, unleashing a long-range effort from over 35 yards after being set up by Terem Moffi. The strike gave Nigeria an early advantage and immediately established the Super Eagles’ dominance in the contest.

The forward doubled Nigeria’s lead in the 62nd minute, calmly finishing with his right foot after another assist from Moffi. The goal effectively ended Zimbabwe’s hopes of a comeback as Azeez continued to trouble the opposition defence with his movement, pace and clinical finishing.

Throughout the match, Femi Azeez remained at the centre of Nigeria’s attacking play despite frequent stoppages, tactical substitutions and physical challenges from Zimbabwe’s defenders.

His ability to dictate the tempo in the final third and maintain a constant attacking threat proved decisive in a high-intensity semi-final encounter.

The victory sends the Super Eagles into the Unity Cup final, where they will continue their bid to maintain their unbeaten record in the competition.

Azeez’s impressive brace and influential all-round display ultimately earned him the Man of the Match award, capping a memorable night for the Nigerian forward.
