Tunisia made a perfect start to their TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 campaign with a convincing 3–1 victory over Uganda on Tuesday evening at the Annex Olympic Stadium of the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat.
The Carthage Eagles took early control of the contest and opened the scoring in the 10th minute through Elyes Skhiri, who finished off a well-worked team move with a precise strike.
In full command of proceedings, Tunisia maintained their tempo and doubled their lead just before the break, with Elias Achouri showing great composure inside the box to score in the 40th minute.
After half-time, Samy Trabelsi’s men continued to assert their dominance. Solid and well organised throughout, they put the result beyond doubt in the 64th minute when Achouri completed his brace with a clinical finish.
Uganda pulled one back in stoppage time through Denis Omedi, capitalising on a slight lapse in concentration from the Tunisians late on. The goal, however, had no impact on the final outcome, with Tunisia firmly in control by that stage.
With this assured performance, Tunisia get their Group C campaign off to an ideal start and immediately signal their ambitions in the competition.
