FULL SQUAD:

The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia defeated 10-man Super Eagles of Nigeria 1-0 in a round of 16 match played at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua as captain Youssef Msakni's long-range strike sends Tunisia into Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals despite missing seven players due to Covid.

Tunisia captain, Youssef Msakni powered home a low shot from outside the penalty area two minutes into the second half, Maskni found space to shoot from outside the box after beating a defender, Nigerian Shot-stopper Maduka Okoye had a touch on the ball, but was not enough from preventing a goal.

For a side that won all three of their group games and even rested the majority of the starting XI for their previous match, tournament favourites Nigeria looked out of ideas in the face of some heroic defending.

Nigeria’s Moses Simon, Wilfred Ndidi and Samuel Chukwueze had all missed chances early in the first half and there were few chances in the game with Tunisia producing a stout defensive performance while looking for counter-attacking opportunities. Msakni’s goal was the only difference separating both sides before Nigeria’s substitute Alexander Iwobi was sent off in the 66th minute, seven minutes after coming on.

The referee originally handed Iwobi a yellow card following a dangerous tackle but VAR called to review the sanction on the pitch side VAR screen, before changing his mind and sending Iwobi off. Despite playing with 10 men Nigeria had a chance to level after substitute Sadiq Umar had beaten the goalkeeper but his shot missed the target by inches.

The Carthage Eagles have only won the AFCON once in 2004 will now lock horns with Burkina Faso in the quarter final stage who beat Gabon 7-6 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Limbe with 18 penalties needed to decide tie.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria becomes the only side at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations to win all three group stage fixtures after defeating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in the third and final round of Group D of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021, thus dashing the dream of Djurtus of making it through to the next round of the competition.

Goals from Sadiq Umar and Captain William Troost-Ekong give Super Eagles a comfortable win over Guinea-Bissau; Nigeria finish top of Group D and Egypt qualify as runners-up. The result ensured Cape Verde and Malawi advance as two of the four best third-placed teams in the group stages, with the latter reaching the knockout rounds for the first time.

Nigerian had already guaranteed their place in the round of 16, but the victory ensures the three times champions finish the group stage with 9 points and Coach Austine Eguavoen matches the mark he set he set in 2006, of becoming the only Super Eagles coach to win all three group stage fixtures despite making eight changes to the starting line-up for the  game and will now face a third-placed team from Group E (Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone or Algeria) or Group F (Gambia, Mali or Tunisia).

The defeat means Guinea-Bissau have now failed to score in their last seven AFCON matches spanning three finals, the first time a side has gone so long without a goal. They are also waiting for their first-ever win.
