Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80428, member: 636"] That ancient Nigeria versus Tunisia beef gets another chapter. The Super Eagles face the Carthage Eagles in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations group match in Fès, Morocco. Both teams have three points, making this a fight for an early knockout round spot. The rivalry spans sixty four years and twenty-one matches, with six wins apiece and nine draws. History is littered with drama, including team walkouts in 1961 and 1978 over controversial goals. Nigeria's attack, led by Victor Osimhen, will test a Tunisian side fresh off a win against Uganda. Tunisia’s coach, Sami Trabelsi, won the title as a player in 2004 and has dynamic talents like Hannibal Mejbri. Nigeria’s Eric Chelle will rely on midfielders Alexander Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi to control the pace. Tunisia’s last competitive win over Nigeria was a narrow AFCON victory four years ago, adding extra spice to this latest encounter. [/QUOTE]
