2025 AFCON: Egypt begins its bid to win tournament Mohamed Salah

Nigeria put on an impressive display of attacking prowess but had to hang on for a narrow 3–2 win over Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, becoming the second team to secure a place in the last 16.

Victor Osimhen opened the scoring a minute before halftime, with captain Wilfred Ndidi and Ademola Lookman adding two more goals after the break.

Tunisia mounted a late comeback through goals from defenders Montassar Talbi and Ali Abdi, setting up a frenetic finish.

It was Nigeria’s second win in Group C and confirms they will top the standings, even with one group-stage match still to play.
