AFCON: Ademola Lookman Reacts After Super Eagles’ 3–2 Victory Over Tunisia

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has shared heartfelt words with Nigerian supporters following Nigeria’s 3–2 triumph over Tunisia in their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) clash on Saturday night.

The Atalanta star delivered an impressive performance in the encounter, playing a decisive role in Nigeria’s success. Lookman registered two assists and scored one goal, a contribution that earned him the Man of the Match award against the Carthage Eagles.

Nigeria’s victory confirms the team’s qualification for the Round of Sixteen, further strengthening their position in the tournament. With qualification already secured, the Super Eagles are set to face Uganda in their next fixture—a match that carries little pressure for the team in terms of progression.

Lookman has continued to stand out as one of Nigeria’s most influential players in the competition. His consistency has been evident since the earlier match against Tanzania, where his impact proved crucial for Eric Chelle’s squad.

Reacting to the win over Tunisia, Lookman expressed satisfaction with the team’s overall display. He noted that Nigeria showed strong intent and control from the opening stages of the match through the second half. According to him, the team maintained a high level of performance despite a brief period where Tunisia managed to score twice.

He emphasized that aside from that momentary lapse, the Super Eagles dominated the game and demonstrated that they are progressing in the right direction as a team.

When asked if he had a message for Nigerian supporters, Lookman highlighted the importance of fan support. He urged fans to remain steadfast, stressing that the encouragement from home and abroad plays a vital role in motivating the players. He concluded by thanking Nigerians for standing by the team and encouraging them to continue pushing the squad forward throughout the tournament.
