Afcon 2019: Garba Lawal calls on Nigeria to ‘make things right’ against Tunisia

Former Nigeria international Garba Lawal has urged the Super Eagles to ‘make things right’ by defeating Tunisia in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations third/fourth-place playoff on Wednesday.

The West Africans have had a roller-coaster outing in the tournament, surprisingly losing to Madagascar in their final group game, thus, finishing in the second-place behind the Barea with six points, having defeated Guinea and Burundi.

The three-time African champions then saw off Cameroon in the Round of 16 before edging past South Africa in the quarter-final stage.
