Nigeria Stun Tunisia in AFCON Shock

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have defeated Tunisia 1-0 in a major upset at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The only goal came in the 47th minute. A defensive error by Tunisia allowed Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman to score. This result is a surprise. Tunisia, the 2004 champions, were considered the stronger team. Nigeria entered the match after a shaky group stage performance. The victory gives Nigeria three critical points in the tournament's knockout round. The "three points" refers to the standard win bonus in group-stage football. Tunisia must now win their final group match to have a chance of advancing. Nigeria's path to the next round is now clear.
