Struck by many absences, including 12 players testing positive for COVID-19, Tunisia proved tougher for the Super Eagles than expected.The Super Eagles were the only side to get the maximum points in the group stage.
Nigeria started the campaign with a 1-0 win over record champions Egypt, followed by a 3-1 victory over Sudan, and concluded the group with a 2-0 win against Guinea Bissau. Champions in 1980, 1994, and 2013, the group stage maximum tally and entertaining performances are expected to give the Super Eagles the needed morale boost in their hunt for a fourth AFCON title.
Nigeria and Tunisia are meeting for the sixth time at the Africa Cup of Nations, with four of the previous five matches being played in knock-out games. Nigeria are unbeaten in all five . Tunisia’s only successful AFCON meeting with Nigeria came in 2004, when they progressed via penalties in the semi-finals after the match finished level, going on to win the competition that year.All rights reserved.

I had been saying this since the day I heard they sacked Rohr. I said it was unfair, u av to let d man fail first before u crucify. But people thought I was saying nonsense. I remember how many people I argued that point with. SMH. I swear dis is so painful
Rohr qualified us for dis Afcon and is taking us to another world cup again. But somehow they made you'll believe he was so terrible he needed to be sacked. For what? To b knocked out in d round of 16. What a shame NFF? The coup has come back to bite
For all those that want to still argue and av been blinded by thier lies. Let me list few things for Rohr finish 3rd place in d last Afcon. Knock out by d eventual champions. Rohr qualified Nigeria for d last world cup l.Knocked out by a Lionel Messi strike and Croatia(finalist
You sacked a coach three weeks to the Afcon all becos of politics or in dis case racism. A coach that did nothing. They manage to convince d entire country on why we needed to sack Rohr. And what for exactly? Nigeria and thier corruption.
What a travesty 🤷 After Buhari calls what a negative energy 😏

I hope all the people in thenff that sack Rohr will be chased out now. Else you'll be shock you won't qualify for world Cup. No testing coach!!!
Bad luck from pmb call
NFF should band BBC news from visiting Nigeria team from today no media is allow to interview any players when compensation is ongoing, No player should be allow to use phone on any competitors no visitors should be allow no negative calls should be allowed.

Iwobi shud never play for us again
What a match, so sad indeed
Ifb
Too late, ps: super chicken
This is really pathetic - the supposedly best team (so far in the tournament) knocked out by the best loser! If only our players had played the first half of the game with the same energy they played with in the second half, I think it would have been a different story. Itiswell!
Please is it this same team that will go for world cup?
