Скачать или смотреть NIGERIA Hold Off TUNISIA in 5-Goal Thriller to Reach AFCON Knockouts

Victor Osimhen ended his goal drought as Nigeria survived a late Tunisian fightback to win 3–2 and secure a Round of 16 spot.
Nigeria dominated the early proceedings, though they were initially frustrated by a disallowed Victor Osimhen goal for offside and several missed headed opportunities. The breakthrough finally came in the 44th minute when Victor Osimhen rose highest to meet an Ademola Lookman cross, powering a header home to break his tournament drought.

The Super Eagles emerged from the interval with even greater intensity. In the 50th minute, captain Wilfred Ndidi doubled the lead with a clinical header from a corner—his first-ever international goal. The contest seemed over in the 67th minute when Ademola Lookman finished a composed team move involving Alex Iwobi and Osimhen to make it 3–0.

However, Tunisia sparked a dramatic late scare. Montassar Talbi pulled one back in the 74th minute with a bullet header from a free-kick. Tension surged in the 87th minute when a VAR review penalized Bright Osayi-Samuel for handball; Ali Abdi stepped up to smash the penalty into the top corner. Nigeria was forced to defend deep during seven minutes of stoppage time, with Stanley Nwabali making crucial interventions to prevent a Ferjani Sassi equalizer.
