Tunisia Eliminates Nigeria and Reaches Quarter-Finals in Africa Cup of Nations

Tunisia won 1-0 against ten players from Nigeria, thanks to a goal in the second half from Youssef Msakni, qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday. Msakni scored with a shot from outside the penalty area just two minutes into the second half, securing Tunisia's passage to the quarter-finals after qualifying from the group stage as one of the best four third-placed teams. Nigeria played with ten men since the 64th minute after Alex Iwobi was sent off for a violent foul against Msakni. Tunisia will face Burkina Faso in the quarter-finals, who advanced past Gabon in a penalty shootout earlier on Sunday, following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
