Fresh off that tense 2-1 grind vs Tanzania, Man-of-the-Match Semi Ajayi is buzzing—his towering header (1-0, 36′) gave Nigeria the perfect AFCON launch, but he’s hungry for polish before Tunisia Saturday!
“Scoring for Naija at AFCON? Pure magic—fuels belief, rewards our discipline,” Ajayi beamed. “Attack clicked, chances flowed, but defensive tweaks needed. First step down—analyze, unite, conquer tougher foes.” Midfield enforcer Wilfred Ndidi echoed: “Tricky opener bagged three points and swagger, but coaches want laser focus—no slips. Solidity key for Group C survival.”
Eagles’ 21st tournament, 148 goals historic—Ajayi’s nod recalls his West Brom steel, Ndidi’s Leicester bite. Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles loom as tricky North African test; win here locks progression. Naija’s title fire burns bright!
