Ademola Lookman has hailed the Super Eagles’ 3–2 victory over Tunisia as a positive step in the right direction.
The Atalanta forward was the standout performer in the hard-fought encounter, scoring once and providing two assists to inspire Nigeria’s win.
Lookman opened the scoring in the 44th minute with a delightful cross that was expertly finished by Victor Osimhen, setting the tone for the Super Eagles’ impressive display.
Five minutes into the second half, Lookman set up the second goal as his corner kick was nodded home by Wilfred Ndidi.
He then made it 3-0 as he received a pass from Osimhen, beat his marker before firing past the keeper.
The impressive display of the 2024 African Player of the Year earned him the Man of the Match award.
“Three points on the board, so it’s a step in the right direction,” Lookman said after the game.
“We dominated from the first half to the second half. They had a spell where they scored two goals, but overall we were very good today.”
Also, he urged the Super Eagles fans to keep supporting the team.
“Keep supporting us, we really need you. Keep being behind us and supporting us,” he added.
