Nigeria beat Tunisia 3-2 in a dramatic Group C clash against Tunisia at AFCON 2025. The Atalanta winger got his second assist within five minutes of the restart as his inswinging corner was headed in by captain Wilfred Ndidi. But Nigeria made life hard for themselves and Tunisia found a route back into the game when Montassar Talbi headed into the bottom corner. A controversial penalty, converted by Ali Abdi, set up a nervy finish but Eric Chelle's men held on for their second win of the tournament. Nigeria have confirmed their place as Group C winners — they will face one of the third-place teams in the last 16.
