Victor Osimhen starred as Nigeria became the second qualifier for the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stage after Egypt by surviving a late Tunisia onslaught to win 3-2 in Fes on Saturday.
The Super Eagles were cruising to victory when leading 3-0 through goals from Osimhen, captain Wilfred Ndidi and Ademola Lookman. But Tunisia refused to surrender in the top-of-the-table Group C clash, and Montassar Talbi and Ali Abdi scored to set up a tense finish.
Nigeria have six points, Tunisia three and Tanzania and Uganda one each, with the final round of group matches set for Tuesday.
