African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

[Fiatless]

In the first 25 minutes, the Super Eagles are not playing badly. They are dominating the in game, winning second balls and have been able to recover early to thwart attacks from the Tunisian side. Victor Osimhen's goal was ruled out for offside. And there is a debate going on on social media that the Galatasaray striker might have the record of the most disallowed goals in the African Cup of Nations  . Just wish that Nigeria would continue in this manner and win this game.

Nice One Victor Osimen made us proud at the 44 minutes into the first half Nigeria vs Tunisia, I trust Victor to always deliver and consistently he have proven and made us proud, let hope the supper keep up with their current trend and try to have more goals in the second half.

[Salahmu]

Yeah they were ashamed of losing to country with red that is why there efforts for goal was growing on the second half, I saw how Mohammed Salah was kissing the field after the referee had change his mind about that penalty because all there hope was on what the referee would say. Penalty is a helper of this Friday AFCON matches, because as Egypt won with with penalty Morocco is also wining from penalty of 45 minutes they score to Mali, but however it seems Mali was waiting for me to say this for them to score because they have done an equalizer of 1:1 now to Morocco.

Well I think what feel is that this Mohammed Salah guy is to good sometime in the pitche for sometime really need to place some got dam value of on themselves to correct doing the right things…their games was really messed up with bad luck because I was never lucky to win a game all the time…I think you need to no this. I think someone said the red in their country flag is red full sun of weakness

How is there match messed up if all there AFCON match has been victory, even if you are a gambler who feels you usually don't have luck in games but there is no Egypt match between this two you would gamble and loss because you will certainly win so actually I don't no there match you are talking about, or is it there last AFCON matches you have not had those luck?. Colors in flag doesn't state how the country will do on the pitch and besides I'm sure it means good thing to them. Osimhen is delivering the super eagles from Tunisia on the Fez Stadium second match.

[BIT-BENDER]

Great goal from Osimhen, Nigerian has been the outplaying Tunisia in this one and they deserve to be ahead at halftime. Great crossing from Ademola Lookmam and a difficult but a nicely taking header by Victor osimhen.
But aside from the entertaining match I will also like to know who Victor osimhen was pointing in anger after his goal, he was passionately expressing annoyance towards the person and he got a card for it.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria keeps the tempo and the momentum, and they are able to score one goal before the first half. Despite Victor Osimhen is being ruled out for offside early in the first few minutes of the game, Ademola Lukuman provided an assist for Vitctor Osimhen to put the Super Eagles of Nigeria in front against Tunisia, the super eagles of Nigeria dominated the game in the first half because they have 70% ball possession overall with two shots on target while Tunisia have no shot on target, and with the way the game went in the first half, I am very confident that the Super Eagles will win this match tonight to take the lead following a draw between Uganda and Tanzania; both the Super Eagles and Tunisia have three points before this match, a win for the Super Eagles will give them the lead with three points clear above Tunisia.

Nice one from Victor Osimhen, it's a good feeling when the Super eagles is leading but they should avoid same thing they did against Tanzania in their last match where they allowed them to equalize before Ademola Lookman scored the winning goal. If Tunisia get an opportunity and level the score it will be hard for the Super Eagles to win so what they should do now is to protect their defense. Osimhen should learn to be disciplined, this is the Nations Cup and not the league matches. Even though he is a great player, but his reactions sometimes are too aggressive for a player of his caliber.

[Onyeeze]

The match between Tunisia and the Nigeria it is obvious that this match is going to be in favor of Nigeria because Tunisia have not recorded any goal for the first time and second time is on 51 minutes so there is every possibility that Nigeria may likely get more goals because the defensive of Tunisia is not utterly strong so Nigeria penetrate easily to score goal, the only way Tunisia might equalize this goal is for them to the strategize and display a defensive game and also encounter attack that is only remedy that can make it then to equalize if actually it is possible for Tunisian to equalize the match

The super eagles performance wasn’t bad in the first half of the match, they played well, and Victor Osimhen was able to score a brilliant goal towards the ending of the first half of the match, which gave the super eagles a lead in the first half of the match. Let’s see how the super eagles will perform in the second half of the match, they have just been able to score another goal in the second half of the match, let’s hope they going to maintain their current goal lead till the match is going to end.

I was expecting Tunisia to be a difficult opponent for the Super Eagles because Tunisia has good players, but I am totally surprised with the way the Super Eagles have gained full dominance in this match. The Super Eagles have gotten a double in the second half, and it's enough to guarantee the Super Eagles the 3 points. Since the Super Eagles have doubled their lead, I think Victor Osimhen should be subbed off so that he won't get a red card.

Since the match Nigeria played against Benin where they won 4:0, it's just today that they are playing a confident match because Tunisia is a very difficult team to win but with the current result of the match now i can attest that Nigeria will go far in the Nations Cup. I didn't even notice that Wilfred Ndidi is still in the Super Eagles squad only for him to score the second goal that's when i realized he is still playing for the Nigeria team. I could remember when he was still playing at Leicester, very vibrant player then, now he is playing at Besiktas in the Turkish Super Ligue. I don't know what is wrong with Osimhen but he needs to be careful to avoid story that touches the heart because i don't know the cause of his anger.

[Davidvictorson]

I don’t believe that there are any underdogs when it comes to the AFCON. Sure, some teams have quality players than others but as we have seen in the past, they didn’t always guarantee success in the tournament.

I very much agree with you. There are no underdogs. This why I said making predictions in the AFCON is super easy. For example, your prediction about Nigeria winning is correct even though the score is 3 -0 at the moment and there is less than 30 minutes on the time, no one is expecting any miraculous equalizer from Tunisia . In the next game Nigeria has, we already know who will win.

First goal was at 44' and second was at 50'. The goals reveals that the eagles lost all hopes after accepting the first goal at the end of the first half, which leads them to accept another goal in the 5th minute of the second goal. Now it's minutes 62' and the tunisians are doing worst while focusing only on defense. The psychological tiredness is clear in the poor performance of the eagles.

My bet was 3:1 for Nigeria but I think the eagles won't get courage enough to mark a single goal lol. I am waiting for the third goal from Nigeria, if not more because i see them reaching the goal zone many times while the eagles focusing on defense only and not able the create opportunities in the goal zone.

Edit: Nigeria scored the third goal at 67' while i was writing this post.

[Agbamoni]

Here is the final whistle. Nigeria 3, Tunisia 2.

Wonderful performance from both sides. Tunisia was reluctant after 3 goals down. They managed to score 2 goals, but time was not on their side. And the Super Eagles were defending intentionally to secure the 3 points.

Total of 6 points now for the Super Eagle in the AFCON competition. At the top of their table, brilliant performance from everyone.

[Richbased]

The Super Eagles almost spoiled the night after Tunisia scored the second goal because the pressure was becoming to much for Nigeria. This Super Eagles team needs many works to do because am just wondering what it could have been if they ended the match in a 3:3 score after being 3 goals ahead. Once again the defense of the Super Eagles will betray them if Éric Chelle don't act quick by charging the defenders on the need to remain formidable especially when they are leading with more than 2 goals margin. Regardless of the die minute poor performance of the Super Eagles, i still commend them for winning Tunisia and grabbing their second win of the group stage matches.

[Precious236]

Lookman is really becoming one of the main players for the Nigerian team in this very tournament with the way hisp playing now. Two games now and he has shown himself, two goals and two assists and if not for him again today, Nigeria will not have won this match against Tunisia. I thought a certain pastor said Lookman was not going to help his team in this tournament. He should bow his head in shame because what he thought is not what's playing out now.

[Callido]

I literally watched Tunisia drag the scores to 3:2 from 3:0, i got scared that they might equalize the score, it would be possible if they had more time. I'm very excited we won the match, but not in this manner after scoring three goals, plus we were unable to defend it. This has been our problem, the more we score, the more goals we concede, and win under one goal margin.

Eric Chelle has to focus on our defense, our right back isn't doing a great job, the young lad that was used in the World Cup Qualification matches is better off than the player we are using in the AFCON tournament, there needs to be work done in our defense that is very poor, only our attack and midfield are doing the perfect work.

Please let that pastor come and talk bad about Nwabali, we need him to be able to catch balls , but overall the one person we should be highly praised is Osimhen, did you guys see that header from him, that's spectacular and the way he layed off that pass for Lookman to finish, prime complete striker there.

The match was wonderful for the Nigerian side, but as usual they can't just end with a 3 goal lead, they just had to make our hearts leap.

Their defensive tactics helped them to secured the last goal if not, Tunisia would equalized the game. Victor Osimhen missed many goals this night. The Super Eagles' performance in the first half was impressed. I was not expecting them.to performed that way. And the early minutes of the second half too, they played wey and it was from 70 minutes, that was when they started loss control and Tunisia used the opportunity to finished work. Tunisia got luck today. They would have gotten 3:1 if not rh penalty goal. Osimhen didn't give up until he got his goal. He played full time today.
The Tunisia striker and the left and right wings players we impressed too. If Nigeria Super Eagles were playing ball like this, things would have been good for them. Super Eagles didn't performed poorly today, except the second half in the 70 to 80 minutes and after they picked up again to defend their last goal.

[Joy_learns_crypto]

It was almost a banana pill from Nigeria. Nigeria were cruising in the match scoring three goals and they were looking like they were home and dry but the had to take the hard route by letting Tunisia to score two goals.
I don’t know if that penalty is right but the ref was good and the penalty is the only thing that will be questioned
Nigeria has now qualified and I think the coach will list players that hasn’t yet played any match.

What a good performance from super Eagle they get the opportunity to achieve another three point against Tunisia, I see Nigeria are really prepare for the Afcon this time round and if they can continue performing like this am sure they will get the chance to win the trophy. Nigeria make was the fan to be scared because the moment I see the game is 3-2 already have be thinking that Tunisia will give Nigeria more stress to get the chance to draw the game but Nigeria defense well and they get the opportunity to end the game and continue topping the group stage of the Afcon. Nigeria have automatically qualified to next round and even they lost there last game they will still move on since they won all there two games in the group.
