The Super Eagles will intensify their quest for a fourth Africa Cup of Nations trophy on Sunday when they take on Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles in one of Sunday’s round of 16 matches.
Having emerged as the only team to win all three of their pool games at the ongoing Afcon tournament in Cameroon, the Eagles are beginning to garner more support across the continent and beyond.
Having literally turned the Roumde Adjia Stadium, Garoua, into a field of ‘slaughter’, coach Augustine Eguavoen’s men will be looking to fly higher in Sunday’s clash known as the Battle of the Eagles.
Although the Tunisia team is exhausted with the multi-positive coronavirus cases in their squad, an entertaining clash is nonetheless expected.
in this light, PREMIUM TIMES is providing the necessary information for fans to stay up to date with the Round of 16 matches.
Prelude
Unlike the Eagles’ last game, which was an opening AFCON clash against Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria and Tunisia know each other well enough when it comes to this continental soccer tournament.
The Carthage Eagles are playing in their 20th Afcon tournament while the Super Eagles are in their 19th edition.
There are no second chances; there is no way to make amends, at least for the next two years. Whoever falls short in Sunday’s match will say goodbye to AFCON 2021.
What time is the game?
Like their last group match, the match between Nigeria and Tunisia is scheduled for 8:00 pm on Sunday, January 23. This is after Burkina Faso against Gabon, which is the first of the Round of 16 matches.
What channels are showing the game?
In addition to the dedicated Afcon channels on SuperSport, which are available on DSTV and GOTV, the Super Eagles game is also broadcast on local stations such as AIT and Afrosports TV amongst others.
