The Tunisia national team made a dazzling start to their Africa Cup of Nations campaign. In the opening group match against Uganda, midfielder Ellyes Skhiri, who also plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, netted the opening goal—an historic strike for Tunisia in the tournament's history.

Details: According to Opta, Skhiri's goal marked the 100th for Tunisia in Africa Cup of Nations history. This landmark made the "Carthage Eagles" just the sixth national team to reach the century mark in the tournament.

Later, Tunisia’s advantage was extended by Elias Achouri, the winger from Danish side Copenhagen, who slotted home the second goal. The teams went into halftime with the Carthage Eagles holding a 2-0 lead.
