Nigeria's Super Eagles began their campaign for the fourth African Nations Cup title on a winning note, edging past hard-fighting Taifa Stars of Tanzania in a group-C opener played on Tuesday at the ongoing AFCON in Morocco
West brom of England defender Semi Ajayi powered home an Alex Iwobi cross to give Nigeria a 1-0 advantage in the 37th minute of the encounter held at Fez stadium in the city of Fes, as Eagles went into the remaining half with a goal advantage
The Tanzanians drew level in the 50th minute, before Ademola Lookman's powerful shot from outside the box quickly restored the lead in the 52nd minute
The Eric Chelle tutored Nigerian squad will now take on the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in next the match in the group on Saturday
