The star defender of the Tunisian team Montassar Talbi says he has fond memories of how his team have secured good results against Nigeria in the past ahead of tomorrow’s Africa Cup of Nations game, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Tunisia started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Uganda and will take on Nigeria looking for a win that will seal their spot in the round of 16 of the tournament. The same round where they eliminated the Super Eagles in 2022 when the tournament took place in Cameroon.
Looking ahead to the game, with Nigeria also starting their campaign on a high Talbi said they want to create fresh memories for their fans citing the 2-2 draw in Abuja in a world cup qualifiers in 2010, and the recent 1-0 win in 2022.
” We’ve had a great start to this tournament with a victory against Uganda, and we really hope to keep the momentum going by securing a second win tomorrow against Nigeria”, the Lorient defender said at the pre match conference.
” I have good memories of Tunisia against Nigeria at the 2021 AFCON, Yousef Msakni’s goal in the 46th minute or even Darragi’s goal away to Nigeria in the last minute of the 2-2 draw. We hope to create new memories for Tunisians tomorrow”, he stated.
