Watch Tunisia Vs. Nigeria Live Stream: 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations 3rd-Place Match, Start Time, Preview
Nigeria and Tunisia, which both ranked among the favorites to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations championship, find themselves able to do no better than third place, after each suffered disappointing semifinal ousters. Nigeria, especially, took a crushing blow, as The South African reported. With their match against Algeria appearing ready for extra time, they suddenly conceded a free kick goal to Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez in the 95th minute, dropping them into Wednesday’s third-place clash. But Tunisia remain the higher-ranked team — in fact, the highest-ranked team in Africa as they play for third place in the match that will live stream from Egypt.

Tunisia’s coach Alain Giresse said that despite their loss to Senegal — which will play for the trophy against Algeria on Friday — his team will not lack motivation. That’s even if the team will be playing for what amounts to the tournament’s consolation prize, according to RFI.
“Third place gets you on the podium just like in the Olympic Games,” the French coach said on Tuesday. “Only the first three are recognized and get a medal. But even if we finish fourth, it really isn’t such a bad outcome given all the teams that started in the competition.”
