Nigeria secured a hard-fought 3–2 victory over Tunisia in their latest Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) encounter, with Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman delivering decisive performances to propel the Super Eagles to victory.

Victor Osimhen was instrumental throughout the match, contributing a goal and an assist, while Ademola Lookman produced a standout display, scoring once and providing two assists. Their combined attacking influence proved too much for the Tunisian defense and underlined Nigeria’s attacking quality.

The performance of both players has drawn particular attention following pre-tournament comments from a popular prophet, who had advised that Ademola Lookman should not be selected for the competition and that Victor Osimhen should not feature, claiming their inclusion would negatively impact the team.

Contrary to those claims, Osimhen and Lookman have emerged as key figures in Nigeria’s campaign so far. Their goals, assists, and overall match-winning contributions have not only driven results on the pitch but also highlighted their importance to the Super Eagles’ ambitions at the tournament.

As the competition progresses, Nigeria will take confidence from this victory and from the form of their leading attackers, who continue to play a central role in the team’s pursuit of continental success.
