Nigeria opened their campaign at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco with a 2–1 win over Tanzania, securing all three points in their first group match.
The Super Eagles took the lead through Ajayi before Ademola Lookman doubled Nigeria’s advantage with a well-taken finish. Tanzania mounted a brief comeback when Mombwa pulled one back in the 50th minute, raising hopes of a turnaround.
However, those hopes were quickly dashed as Lookman struck again just two minutes later, restoring Nigeria’s two-goal cushion and ultimately sealing the victory.
The result gives Nigeria a strong start to the tournament as they continue their quest for continental glory.
