Teko Modise has lauded Victor Osimhen for his selfless assist for Adams' goal against Algeria in the quarterfinal.
The Super Eagles booked a place in the semi-final of the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Algeria.
Osimhen gave Nigeria the lead entering into the second half of the game before Akor Adams clinched the win.
The Galatasaray star was created the assist for Adams' goal despite having the opportunity to bury the chance himself.
Modise heaps praise on Osimhen
Speaking after the game, Modise noted the Galatasaray forward's awareness despite his own ambitions to be the tournament's top scorer.
"Look at this man [Osimhen], he is unselfish," Modise explained. "As much as he is a striker that wants to be the top scorer of the tournament, he realised the ball is on his left foot, let me turn around and look for the most open man.
“But also the pass as well again from Iwobi, getting Osimhen in that right direction. But yet again this goal is a great goal and it will take the mic off his back because of all the opportunities that he has missed," he concluded.
