00:00a cup of nations

00:14underway as Nigeria kick us off facing against Tunisia both teams last

00:20appearance in the under 20 Africa so I keep clips it that's a much better ball

00:27out and it's easy to take on the chest and turn Tunisia the sight of goal

00:38that's given away cheaply and there's lots of space Ibrahim tried to foul but it

00:43still runs through lovely bit of skill and it's played across and somehow Nigeria survived

00:52great play initially by Cali this time they do have the first corner

00:57and it's a free header and pitches an excellent ball

01:02Arieri hits the target but pammed away by Suaghi

01:08so a chance to deliver from Clinton Jephthah the header down number eight wants it back but it's a speculative effort from distance

01:24comfortable for Ebenezer Harcourt

01:29certainly caught it well enough

01:35from that distance

01:37always going to be a tough one

01:39to beat the goalkeeper but certainly plenty of confidence

01:41here comes the delivery into a dangerous area

01:48here comes the delivery into a dangerous area

01:52well read by

01:54and my Gary

01:57can they create

02:01can they create once again you can see that near post delivery

02:05it was Ryan and any and now Elise breaks clear

02:10got options decides to go for a goal

02:16ball over the top

02:21Thomas Zouaghi

02:25whistle

02:27lovely switch

02:40now seeing a really good movement and a great finish and a wonderful opening goal for Nigeria at this under 20 AFCON at Egypt 2025

02:53Aowal Ibrahim bursting into the box

02:58bursting into the box

03:02bursting the net of Thomas Zouaghi

03:06well delight for Aliou Zouaghi

03:10took over the job September last year

03:16he spoke at how talented this squad was

03:21and we saw the best of it here

03:23Okoro was so patient

03:25and then look at the movement as well of Arieri

03:29the number nine pulled out

03:31that created space

03:33that Ibrahim sauntered into

03:35and then had the cool composure

03:39to finish

03:40well the goal has been coming but it

03:43could have very well come at either end

03:47such as being the competitive nature

03:49but Nigeria suddenly have their wings drawn out

03:53as the flying eagles

03:55oh look to try and fly into a 2-0 lead

04:00and he headed over when completely free

04:03I want to create a similar opportunity

04:06the ball though too deep this time

04:10just enough pressure there from

04:14you're on the header here

04:16now that's a turn that's not brought about

04:18the referee's whistle

04:19Khalid Ayari

04:20goes down under the challenge

04:23referee on the spot

04:25the legs to give a corner

04:31the cries turn to bemusement for

04:33the young number 10

04:36Dintin Jephtha having a nibble there

04:40they've given it as a corner

04:43action of a half

04:44it's a mess defensively

04:52Harcourt got nowhere near it

04:57Isawi

04:59flips it into the near post

05:01punched away Harcourt

05:03more convincing that time

05:06and there is

05:08the halftime whistle

05:10a highly entertaining first outing

05:14is

05:16so underway

05:18captain waji isawi

05:19has headed off

05:2217 year old

05:23Elise Zawi

05:26is on wear number 12

05:29for the eagles of Cafferidge

05:33here's an early touch

05:45chance to have a look

05:45Caleb

05:49now has to make the challenge

05:50against

05:51Boznina

05:54it breaks for

05:55the eagles of Cafferidge in

05:57white

05:58the ball lofted in

06:00lacking quality from

06:02Meirzi

06:05the danger here's Ibrahim

06:06swings it in early

06:08clear to the edge of the area

06:10a little bit too quick from

06:12Ayari when he might have been

06:13able to hold on to the ball

06:16oh it's really good pressure

06:18from Jephtha

06:20Tomazu

06:20Gaiwi

06:22strong defending from

06:24Odinaka Okoro

06:27that's a poor touch

06:29that gives it to

06:30Boznina

06:32now a chance to strike from distance

06:33instead trying to look for Ben Ali

06:35and then the final effort flies over the top

06:43Khalid infield from Jephtha

06:47links up with Ibrahim and now

06:50Amoli

06:50they've got some real pace and skill on the wings and then a lovely little pass

06:57cutback was on

06:59Nigeria will settle for the

07:03standing over this set piece

07:06Koro

07:08as being a star

07:10this first hour for Nigeria is a speculative effort

07:14all swung in

07:23strong header from Ben Ali on defensive duty

07:26Nigeria have a penalty

07:28the clash

07:30is a second foul in quick succession against Rickson who's only just come on

07:37we see in the modern game now

07:40instead of just complaining about the decision

07:45teams

07:46will be calling for VAR to get involved

07:49so they have a clear and obvious error

07:52there you have it

07:53it is a poor challenge from Chetai

07:56Telemillo

07:58well one substitute Dubal gave away the free kick

08:01against Rickson

08:02that saw this free kick swung in

08:04and now the other

08:05Chetai Telemillo looks to have given away a penalty

08:11well he's cut across him

08:14now he's got the short run-up

08:18from 12 yards out

08:19unless

08:21VAR is going to see

08:23this penalty decision overturned

08:26well as mentioned South Africa

08:28so far come to their rescue

08:31as it was in fact a clean challenge

08:34that meant it was no penalty for Tanzania

08:39now it's a question of whether

08:42the penalty has been overturned

08:55another to come from one of the big clubs in

08:59French top flight

09:03he's with the Monaco under 19 side

09:08the young Monagasc on to try and help Tunisia save this situation

09:13as it flew high to Omar Ben Ali

09:19long ball from

09:19Bami

09:23fed along

09:25by Chetai Telemillo

09:29Chukwu well positioned

09:31as Omar Ben Ali tries to rally the troops for the corner

09:37delivery decent one but it's Bami

09:41gets it away and then the follow-up

09:44is wastefully behind

09:47opportunities

09:47the North Africans

09:51to keep putting balls into the area

09:53another long one

09:55lovely header back across

09:57from Omar Ben Ali

09:58but there was Nigeria's captain

10:13Nigeria look to finish the tie

10:15right

10:16oh they might just mistaken the back

10:19the finish though

10:20would have been off target

10:22and he wanted the ball

10:28Duba down the line

10:29and it's come back for the left back

10:32but it's Harcourt who makes a vital save

10:36he hasn't been called

10:37is added on

10:38lovely little turn

10:40a few step overs

10:41the cross from

10:46reach sender

10:48but now they could be in behind

10:49if the flag stays down

10:51beautifully played

10:52but that's a vital intervention

10:54by Alai Leila

10:56Alai Leila though

10:57making that challenge

10:58and then the flag went up

10:59but the ball moved

11:03Tunisia

11:05this might be

11:06close to last chance saloon

11:08there's Nina has to be smart

11:11tries to get round

11:13but it's strong defending

11:20and it is all over

11:22huge

11:24roars from the flag

11:27seven-time champions
