Nigeria’s Flying Eagles secured a narrow 1–0 win over Tunisia in their U-20 AFCON group opener, giving the team a confidence boost and early control in the group.
- Solomon Agbalaka scored the decisive goal in the 33rd minute.
- Nigeria dominated possession but failed to convert multiple chances.
- Tunisia pushed hard in the second half but were denied by solid defence.
- Victory places Nigeria in a good position ahead of tougher group fixtures.
- Coach Ladan Bosso praised the team’s grit but noted room for improvement.
For a side still finding its rhythm, this was a decent start. Agbalaka’s header gave Nigeria the edge, but missed chances highlighted a need for sharper finishing. The defence held strong, even under late pressure from Tunisia. It wasn’t pretty, but for a tournament like AFCON, getting points early is crucial. Winning ugly still counts.
With this win in the bag, can the Flying Eagles sharpen their attack in time for the next game? All eyes on their next test.
