Tunisia fought back to earn a 1-1 draw with Nigeria in the sides' second Group C match at the African Nations Championship in Rwanda.

Nigeria would have qualified for the next round with a victory and they seemed on their way when Elvis Chikatara scored on 51 minutes.

But Tunisia levelled on 69 minutes when Ahmed Akaichi headed in.

And Akaichi came close to scoring a winner for Tunisia but was denied by a goal-line clearance by Kalu.

The result means Nigeria stay on top of the group, with four points, and Tunisia move to second on two points.

That may change later when Niger play Guinea later on Friday.
