RABAT, Morocco: Victor Osimhen scored a rare Africa Cup of Nations goal and Nigeria booked its place in the knockout stage with an ultimately nervy 3-2 win over Tunisia on Saturday. The Super Eagles almost squandered a three-goal lead as Montassar Talbi pulled a goal back in the 74th minute and Ali Abdi converted a penalty in the 87th. Osimhen missed two good chances with headers early on as the Nigeria made a good start, but he finally made one count before the break with a header to Ademola Lookman’s cross. It was just Osimhen’s second Africa Cup goal in his career.

Der dreimalige Titelträger Nigeria zieht mit einem Sieg gegen Tunesien vorzeitig ins Achtelfinale ein. Derweil rettete der Ex-Münchner Sadio Mané dem Senegal einen Punkt.

Nigeria handed nervy ending by Tunisia but hold on to become second team to reach 2025 Africa Cup of Nations knockouts.
