Luckily, the Carthage Eagles managed to qualify to the round of 16 after being among the top four third-placed teams. And they were pitted against Group D leaders Nigeria.

The Carthage Eagles went on to surprisingly beat the Super Eagles 1-0 thanks to a goal from Youssef Msakni, booking a spot in the quarterfinals against Burkina Faso.
