The Eagles of Carthage returned to the continental stage with a commanding performance, defeating Uganda 3-1 in their Group C opener. The victory not only ended a 12-year streak without winning the first game at the Africa Cup of Nations but also sent a clear message: Tunisia is ready to fight for the title. From the first minutes, the North Africans displayed tactical control and offensive aggression, dictating the tempo and pressuring Uganda, who, despite holding 51% possession, could never turn it into real danger.
