Nigeria held by tunisia

Nigeria soccer suffered a blow dealt to them by Tunisia in a world cup qualifier game. A game largely controlled by the west African team ended up in a tie. Osaze odemwingie opened scoring in the 25th minute when he did a yeoman job and drove into Tunisian goal, eliminated two Tunisia defenders and shot into the top roof of the Tunisia goal. Tunisia leveled the score almost immediately in the 27th minute with a curled blistering shot from Tunisia midfielder Nabil Sliti. Going on into the second half saw the Nigerians largely take over possession of the game which resulted into a goal from substitute eneramo that got a pass from obinna nnsofor after Chelsea midfielder mikel obi moved dangerously on the far left of the Tunisian goal in the 85th minute. The lead didn't last long as poor tactics and defense saw the Tunisian restore possession and raced up towards the Nigerian half that resulted into goal scored by Oussama Darragi in a similar fashion as Osaze odemwingie. He put the ball into the top corner of the Nigerian net to make it 2-2 on the night. The north Africans held on to grab a point. This tie ensures that Tunisia stays top of the group with 8 points from 4 games and Nigeria 6 points from 4 games and in a danger of not making it to south Africa 2010.
