The 2024 CAF African Player of the Year expressed satisfaction with Nigeria’s overall performance, emphasising the importance of securing three points. He noted that the team will take the positives from the match and build on them as the tournament progresses. Speaking about his partnership with Victor Osimhen, Lookman highlighted their strong on-field understanding, explaining that he adapts his position to help the team wherever needed. The first goal came just before halftime when Lookman delivered a precise cross from the left for Osimhen, who rose above the defence to head home. He then finished off a clever cut-back from Osimhen in the 66th minute, rifling a left-footed strike past the Tunisian goalkeeper.
