SKAiF NewsNG SNN
Nigeria and Uganda will meet in the final Group C fixture of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON in Morocco.
The Super Eagles have already secured their place in the knockout stage as group winners, following a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Tunisia at the weekend.
Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Ademola Lookman had put Nigeria in control with just over 20 minutes remaining, but Montassar Talbi and Ali Abdi’s late goals gave Tunisia a tense finish.
Ultimately, Nigeria held on and will aim to maintain a perfect record in the group phase ahead of their round of 16 tie.
Uganda, meanwhile, sit at the bottom of Group C after Allan Okello’s stoppage-time penalty miss denied them a crucial win against Tanzania.
The Cranes now face a must-win scenario against Nigeria to keep their hopes of advancing alive, potentially as one of the best third-placed teams.
