10-Man Super Eagles Crash Out Of AFCON

Tunisia knocked out Nigeria from the round of 16 stage of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Cameroon following a shock 1-0 victory

After a barren first half, the Tunisians opened scoring on 47 minutes through Youssef Msakni.

Earlier, Montassar Talbi collected a pass inside the box and unleashed a shot which was brilliantly blocked by a defender.

On 65 minutes, Alex Iwobi was sent off after a horrifical tackle. After a check by VAR, the referee issued out a red card.

Two minutes later, Moses Simon received a pass inside the box, controlled the ball and drilled it towards the left post. Unfortunately for him, Bechir Ben Said made a great save to stop his effort.

On added time, Umar Sadiq drove into the box and hit a tremendous shot that, unluckily for him, flashed just wide of the left post.
