After a goalless first half, Midfielder Youssef Msakni’s long range strike just two minutes after the restart broke the deadlock.
It also proved to be the winning goal as Nigeria were later reduced to 10 men following substitute’s Alex Iwobi’s red card for a stomp on an opponent and the Eagles struggled to break the Tunisia defence.

Meanwhile, Tunisia had won only one game in the tournament and the team was had reported 7 players were not available for the game due to COVID-19.
