Nigeria beats Tunisia to clinch 3rd place at AFCON 2019

The Super Eagles of Nigeria, Wednesday night slogged out a win over Tunisia to clinch the third place in the ongoing African Cup of Nations, Egypt 2019.

A lone goal from Odion Ighalo in the opening minutes of the match was enough to secure victory for the Eagles, who saw their dream of winning a fourth AFCON titled dashed Sunday night by the Desert Warriors of Algeria.


Pending tomorrow’s final between Senegal and Algeria, Ighalo has emerged the tournament highest scorer with five goals.


While a third place was not the original goal, the players are happy to have come home with some honours.

Happy to take home a bronze medal and Man Of The Match tonight. Proud of this team! NAIJA SPIRIT“, tweets William Troost-Ekong who scored one of the goals in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over South Africa in their quarter-final match.

 

Fun Fact!

The Super Eagles of Nigeria has never lost a third-place match at the AFCON. How consoling is that?
