Catch up with the highlights from this past Sunday’s Afcon action as Tunisia shocked Nigeria with a 1-0 win and Burkina Faso edged Gabon to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament.
WATCH: Nigeria 0-1 Tunisia
Veteran Youssef Msakni scored two minutes into the second half to give previously unimpressive Tunisia a 1-0 second-round triumph over 10-man Nigeria in Garoua.
Nigerian hopes of equalising were dealt a huge blow midway through the second half when Alex Iwobi, initially yellow-carded for a stamp on Msakni, was sent off after the referee looked at the VAR monitor.
WATCH: Burkina Faso 1(7)-1(6) Gabon
Burkina Faso needed a penalty shootout to eliminate Gabon, who forced a 1-1 draw after extra time having played 56 minutes with 10 men following the dismissal of Sidney Obissa.
Substitute Ismahila Ouedraogo scored to give the Stallions a 7-6 shootout victory after Lloyd Palun had struck the woodwork for the gallant Gabonese in Limbe.
