RABAT, Morocco (Interstat) — Tunisia opened its Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a decisive 3-1 victory over Uganda on Tuesday at Stade Olympique de Rabat. Ellyes Skhiri opened the scoring with a header in the 10th minute. Elias Achouri then netted a brace with right-footed goals in the 40th and 64th minutes to secure the result for the home side. Uganda’s Denis Omedi scored a consolation goal in second-half stoppage time. The outcome defied a pregame projection from Interstat, whose simulator had favored Uganda. Tunisia midfielder Skhiri was instrumental with his early goal. Uganda substitute Aziizi Kayondo, who later received a yellow card, provided the assist on his team’s lone score. Both teams continue group play Saturday.
