Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi has set a record ahead of Nigeria’s AFCON third-place final against Egypt on Saturday.
According to OptaJoe, Iwobi has made the most line-breaking passes, leading to 13 shots and 4 goals at the ongoing AFCON in Morocco.
The Fulham star has also made the most total line-breaking passes (44) in the knockout stages.
Iwobi has been impressive for the Super Eagles at the AFCON tournament so far.
The 29-year-old will now hope to lead Eric Chelle’s side to victory when Nigeria face Egypt this weekend.
Iwobi was unable to help Nigeria to victory against Morocco in the semi-final tie played on Wednesday as the Atlas Lions won 4-2 on penalties following a goalless draw.
