"Elias Achouri scored twice as Tunisia cruised to a 3-1 win over Uganda in their opening Africa Cup of Nations encounter in Rabat. Despite qualifying for the 2026 World Cup without losing a game or conceding a goal, Tunisia are not considered among the leading contenders for the title. But the 2004 champions laid down a marker amid a deluge in their first Group C game, with Achouri the star of the show."
"Tunisia had to wait another 30 minutes to double their advantage, but when they did make it 2-0 they did so in style, Achouri meeting Ali Abdi's pull back with a superb side-foot volley. The rain abated in the second half, but there was no let up from Tunisia, who secured the points in the 64th minute when Achouri converted on the rebound after Abdi had been denied by Salim Magoola."
Tunisia dominated Uganda to win 3-1 in Rabat, with Elias Achouri scoring twice and Ellyes Skhiri adding an early header. Tunisia controlled large periods of the match through wide play and precise deliveries from Hannibal Mejbri and Ali Abdi. The second goal came from Achouri's side-foot volley, and he added a 64th-minute rebound finish after Abdi's shot was kept out. Uganda substitute Denis Omedi scored a late deflected goal as consolation. Tunisia moved to the top of Group C and will meet Nigeria on December 27 in a likely group-deciding fixture.
