While Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman grabbed the headlines with their goals, the true architect of Nigeria’s **4-0 demolition** of Mozambique was undoubtedly **Alex Iwobi**. Operating in a deep-lying playmaker role, the Fulham star delivered what many are calling his finest performance in a green and white jersey, earning a near-perfect **9/10 rating** for his tactical brilliance.

Iwobi was the heartbeat of the Super Eagles in Fes, dictating the tempo from the first whistle. His ability to bypass the Mozambican press was pivotal; he consistently found pockets of space and transitioned play with surgical precision. The highlight of his evening was a stunning **"no-look" through ball** that sliced through the midfield to find Akor Adams, directly initiating the sequence for Nigeria’s opening goal.

Beyond his vision, Iwobi’s work rate was relentless. He covered immense ground, linking the defense to the attack while maintaining a **90% pass completion rate**. His chemistry with Lookman and Osimhen was telepathic, as his vertical passes frequently left the Mambas’ backline stranded. By the time he was substituted to a standing ovation, Iwobi had been involved in the buildup of three of the four goals.

As Nigeria marches into the quarter-finals, Iwobi’s current form has transformed him into the team’s most indispensable asset. If he maintains this level of influence, the Super Eagles look increasingly like the team to beat in Morocco.
