Nigeria’s Super Eagles Saturday night grabbed maximum points after defeating the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia 3-2 in a second Group match of 2025 African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) holding in Morocco.

The Nigerian side, now with six points from two matches, set the ball rolling right from the blast of the whistle as deadly looking strikers Victor Osimhen and Lookman invaded Tunisia’s vital area at will.

Goals from Victor Osimhen, Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi and Ademola Lookman already secured Nigeria’s place in the Round of 16 and kept them comfortably at the top of Group.

The Tunis pulled two goals back but it was too late to stop the rampaging Eagles.

Earlier in the match, Victor Osimhen missed a clear header after connecting with a cross from Sevilla forward Akor Adams. Three minutes later, he failed to convert another free header from a corner kick.

In the 29th minute, Fulham defender Calvin Bassey delivered a cross from the left flank, but Osimhen once again could not direct his header on target.

Two minutes later, Tunisia came close to scoring when Hazem Mastouri flicked the ball goal ward, but it was cleared by a Nigerian defender.

In the 36th minute, Ali Abdi dribbled past Bright Osayi-Samuel and squared the ball to Mastouri, who attempted to lay it off for Elias Achouri, only for Semi Ajayi to make a timely clearance.
