Nigeria’s Super Eagles wrapped up their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Egypt with a 1-0 victory over Tunisia at Al-Salam Stadium.
Coach Gernot Rohr’s men got the game off to a bright start in the early minutes of the game after Odion Oghalo handed his side the lead in the 3rd minute of the match.
The striker tapped in the ball from a goalmouth scramble from the Tunisian danger zone after Jamilu Collins made a run into the opponent’s defence from the left flank.
After the goal, the tempo of the game dropped as both teams failed to create convincing chances all through the remainder of the first half.
