The Super Eagles of Nigeria have crashed out of the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cameroon after losing 0-1 to Tunisia on Sunday.
After a barren first half, the Tunisians opened scoring on 47 minutes through Youssef Msakni.
Msakni tried his luck with a long-range shot and beat Maduka Okoye. The ball went low into the middle of the net.
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.
