Nigeria's performance against Tunisia was not too bad. After watching the group stage matches, I thought Nigeria would be able to reach at least the semi-finals. But unfortunately they lost against Tunisia. Tunisia played completely defensive after scoring a goal. So the Nigerian players did not get a chance to score. They had problems with match strategy. They would have been able to win if they had kept the defense strong from the start of the match and continued to attack.
Nigeria team was too confident going into that game having been the only team to progress from group stage winning all their group stage match. They felt they could out beat Tunisia without stress bit began to panic when the breakthrough wasn't coming. I was the first half and Nigeria looked convincing to win but after that early goal at the second half, you could see Nigeria players begin ti panic.
All the shots Nigeria was throwing at the Tunisia goal post was a wasted effort, go back to the stats I think we only had one on target. We didn't play like a team that had just won all group stage match in the second half of the game. Iwobi red card also contributed to our loss and lastly what was the keeper even thinking in that game, everything was just poorly executed.
