Tunisia made a confident start to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with a 3–1 victory over Uganda on Tuesday at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, powered by a brace from Elias Achouri.
The Carthage Eagles, chasing a second continental title since winning at home in 2004, took early control against a Ugandan side returning to the tournament after missing the last two editions. Tunisia opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Ellyes Skhiri headed in from a Hannibal Mejbri corner on a rain soaked pitch.
Achouri doubled the lead before halftime with a first time volley after a precise cross from Ali Abdi. With conditions improving after the break, the winger struck again in the 65th minute, capitalizing on a loose ball in the box.
Uganda pulled one back through Denis Omedi in stoppage time, but the result was beyond doubt. Tunisia top Group C ahead of Nigeria, with the two sides set to meet Saturday in Fes.
