Tunisia, Tanzania join Nigeria, six others in second roundWith two goals from Raphael Onyedika and one from Paul Onuachu, Nigeria defeated Uganda 3-1, yesterday, to maintain its 100 per cent record in Group C of the Africa Cup of Nations holding in Morocco. With Moses Simon and Samuel Chukwueze running the flanks, the Super Eagles had a firm control of proceedings, but it took up to 28 minutes before Nigeria got their opening goal when Onuachu bundled in a cross by Dele Bashiru. Thereafter, the Ugandans defended stoutly to restrict the Super Eagles to the lone goal lead in the first half. With the win, the Super Eagles ended their group stage campaign with the maximum nine points. They are joined by second-placed Tunisia and Tanzania, which drew 1-1 in the group’s other game played simultaneously with the Eagles game.
