The 2e The day of the FIFA Arab Cup started very badly for the two African representatives in group B. After its card against Mauritania (5-1), Tunisia fell from the top by losing against Syria (0- 2) this Friday in Doha.
Led to score from the 4e minute following a recovery in the feet of Sassi and a strike at the entry of the surface of Kawo badly negotiated by Ben Mustapha, the Eagles of Carthage dominated quite clearly but in a too sterile way and the expulsion of the midfielder of Esperance Tunis, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, in added time of the first period for an involuntary nudge (45e+10) didn’t help. Especially since Anez made the break as soon as he returned from the locker room on an unstoppable strike from the 20 meters returned with the help of the bar (2-0, 47e). Like this head of Ifa diverted from a superb reflex stop by the opposing goalkeeper, Mondher Kebaier’s men will regret their awakening too late at the end of the game and they will play their qualification on Monday against the United Arab Emirates, who have won their first two games.
A little earlier, the Emiratis indeed took the best over Mauritania (1-0) thanks to a goal from Al Hammadi in the 93e minute! Barring an improbable combination of circumstances against Syria on the last day, the Mourabitounes are heading straight for elimination.
Classification : EAU 6 points, Tunisia 3 pts (+2), Syria 3 pts (+1), Mauritania 0 pt (-5)
