Afcon 2019: Nigeria need to get the bronze medal against Tunisia - Ike Shorunmu

Former Nigeria goalkeeper and coach Ike Shorunmu has urged the Super Eagles to go all out to win bronze at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Gernot Rohr's side face Tunisia in the third/fourth-place playoff on Wednesday after their 2-1 loss to Algeria in the semi-final.

Sunday's loss to the Desert Foxes squashed Nigeria's dream of winning a fourth Afcon title, but Shorunmu has encouraged the team to finish their campaign in Egypt with a win.

"At the moment because we've missed the chance to play in the final, the only thing that should be on our mind should be to get the bronze, at least to bring something back home," Shorunmu told Goal.
