The Carthage Eagles claimed the summit of Group C in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after securing a convincing 3-1 win against Uganda on Tuesday night. Tunisia established a dominant position early in the first half, as strikes from Ellyes Skhiri and Elias Achouri provided a two-goal cushion before the interval.
The North African side continued their offensive pressure in the second period, with Achouri finding the net again in the 64th minute to complete his personal brace and extend the lead further.
Uganda managed to breach the Tunisian defense during stoppage time as Denis Omedi scored a consolation goal, though the strike came too late to alter the outcome. This three-point haul ensures Tunisia enters the second round of fixtures as the group leaders, holding a superior goal difference over their closest rivals.
This development follows a result earlier in the day where Nigeria edged out Tanzania with a 2-1 scoreline. Consequently, the Super Eagles currently occupy the second position in the standings, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter between the top two teams in their next match.
