Chisom Chikatara opened the score sheet for the Nigerian team in the 52nd minute of the game(his fourth of the tournament) after a brilliant set up by Osas Okoro but the Tunisians responded in the 70th minute with a goal from Ahmed Akaichi.
The final scoreline sees Nigeria presently leading the group table with 4 points while Tunisia are second with 2 points. The upcoming match between Niger Rupublic and Guinea will determine who tops the group table.
The Super Eagles are however a step closer to the Quarter Finals of the competition and a win or draw will seal their place in the last 8 qualifying spot.
Nigeria starting XI vs Tunisia:
Ikechukwu Ezenwa – Matthew Etim, Chima Akas, Austin Obaroakpo, Stephen Eze – Paul Onobi, Ifeanyi Matthew – Osas Okoro, Prince Aggreh, Usman Mohammed – Chisom Chikatara
Tunisia starting XI vs Nigeria: Rami Jeridi, Hamza Mathlouthi, Zied Boughattas, Zied Derbali, Ali Maaloul, Karim Aouadhi, Marouane Tej, Abdelkader Oueslati, Amine Ben Amor, Mohamed Ali Moncer, Ahmed Akaichi
