Home based-Super Eagles were held to a one-all draw against their eternal rivals, Tunisia, in their second group game at the ongoing African Nations Championship, Rwanda 2016.
With four points, the Sunday Oliseh lads are tops, while Tunisia are second on two points pending the outcome of the other group game between Guinea and Niger later on Friday (today) at the same venue.
The North Africans opener was overruled by the referee few minutes to half time.
On resumption for the second half, it was Nigeria that shot ahead through Chisom Chikatara in the 50th minute of the tie.
The Abia Warriors striker grabbed his fourth goal of the tournament after he was set up by Osas Okoro.
The lead last for only 17 minutes before Ahmed Akaichi restored parity finishing off a three-man move that involved Moncer and substitute Hichem Essifi.
Moncer crossed to Essifi, whose header found Akaichi, who shot past Ezenwa for a deserving equalizer.
The remainder of the game was a balanced affair with Tunisia coming close a couple of time, but the winner remained elusive.
