Nigeria secured third place in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after Odion Ighalo's early strike proved to be the difference between themselves and Tunisia, handing the Super Eagles their eighth third-place finish in the tournament.
Ighalo netted his fifth goal of the tournament just three minutes into the match after Ahmed Musa's left wing cross was palmed away by Moez Ben Cherifia, but his save rebounded off Yassine Meriah to hand the Shanghai Shenhua striker the simplest of tap-ins.
Tunisia grew into the match but were wasteful in front of goal, failing to hit the target with any of their shots on target during the first period.
