Lookman Lights Up AFCON: Nigeria Edge Tunisia in Morocco Thriller

Lookman shines in Nigeria's AFCON win over Tunisia

Nigeria's Ademola Lookman delivered a standout performance as his country edged Tunisia 3-2 in a Africa Cup of Nations group-stage clash in Morocco.

Lookman started and produced a sharp display, contributing to the Eagles' three goals before being substituted late in the match.

During the game, Lookman assisted the opening goal with a cross that Victor Osimhen converted, and also set up the second for Wilfried Ndidi.

The Eagles' talisman added the third himself after receiving a pass inside the box, beating defenders and firing past the keeper.

Nigeria earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory, topping Group C with six points as Tunisia trailed in second place with three points.

The social arm of Atalanta celebrated Lookman's form with a fiery post on X, congratulating him for a goal and two assists against Tunisia.

With this result, Nigeria sit atop Group C, reinforcing their progress in the tournament hosted by Morocco.

Punchlines to lighten the mood: Lookman's shots are so well-aimed that even the goalposts demanded autographs. And if football were a comedy, Lookman would be the headliner—scoring, assisting, and stealing the show in one night.
