Nigeria opened their Africa Cup of Nations 2025 campaign with a 2–1 victory over Tanzania on Tuesday at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, securing three points in Group C.
The Super Eagles took the lead in the first half when defender Semi Ajayi headed home from a set piece. Tanzania responded early in the second half with a goal from Charles M’Mombwa to draw level, but Nigeria regained control minutes later.
Midfielder Ademola Lookman fired a superb effort from outside the box to restore Nigeria’s advantage, a strike that proved decisive in the rain-soaked encounter.
The victory gives Nigeria a positive start in Group C, where they look to build momentum towards the knockout stages, while Tanzania will seek their first win in tournament history as the competition continues.
