After the results of the second day of group C, Tunisia lost any chance of finishing at the top of its group. The Carthage Eagles will have to fight for second place in their last match against Tanzania on Tuesday, the only way to reach the round of 16. A victory or a draw will be enough, a setback could result in elimination.
Nigeria has already secured first place in Group C with 6 points. Tunisia, with 3 points, can no longer overtake the Super Eagles. Tuesday, the Carthage Eagles will have to face Tanzania (1 point) to defend their position.
The scenarios
A victory or draw will ensure the Tunisians second place and a ticket to the round of 16. On the other hand, a defeat could cause a premature elimination, particularly if Uganda (1 point) were to beat Nigeria or if the ranking among the best thirds was not favorable to them.
Ranking before the 3rd day:
- Nigeria: 6 pts (qualified)
- Tunisia: 3 pts
- Tanzania: 1 pt
- Uganda: 1 pt
Avoid Morocco or Egypt
Tunisian players and staff emphasize caution and concentration. The main objective is to secure at least one point to stay in the race and avoid any surprises on the final day.
In case of qualification in second place, Tunisia will face the second of group A, still to be determined. A possible qualification as third would offer a match against Morocco or Egypt, complicating the path.
