Tanzania vs Tunisia: AFCON Qualification Recap

Thank you all for following this live commentary, we’ll see you live on the match between Benin and Senegal. See you later !

Mnoga is replaced by Kapombe.

Tunisia keeps the ball in these final seconds, while moving forward. For their part, the Taifa Stars are in no hurry to restart.

There will be 4 extra minutes in this match.

Ben Romdhane and Belhadj replace Gharbi and Mejbri.

Author of the equalizing goal, Salum is replaced by M’Mbonwa. Msuva also comes out for Allarakhia.

We can no longer see the Eagles of Carthage planning at the end of the match. Via the attitude of Gharbi who asks for the support of the public, we feel that Tunisia does not want to settle for a draw.

Tunisia’s turn to benefit from a corner, worked by Mejbri, but returned to the axis with a little difficulty by the opposing defense.

Masalanga was able to get up and regain his place in Tanzania’s goal. The Taifa Stars come close to an achievement, but must not concede a goal.

Masalanga was hit by Jaziri while catching a cross and remained on the ground, looking a little stunned. The trainers intervene.

After a long cross from Msindo, Mnoga rises in the area higher than Abdi, to pass a header past Dahmen’s goal.

Following a long cross from Abdi, Sliti tries to put it back at the far post but finds no one. He had fouled Msindo anyway.

Tunisia monopolizes the ball, without being really dangerous. For now, the Eagles of Carthage are not really reassuring after the defeat against Nigeria.

Found by Valery in the area, Sliti jostles Msindo, author of a first good anticipation. Tanzania will be able to ward off the danger.

Hussin sensitivity to Msindo.

Gharbi places a free kick in the box, and it is taken at the far post by Jaziri’s head. His recovery is captured in the air by Masalanga.

Tounekti and Mastouro are replaced by Sliti and Jaziri.

Miroshi takes another corner for Tanzania, and it is suddenly deflected at the near post by Msuva’s header. It finds the outside net.

Author of a late intervention on Mejbri, Msuva also takes a yellow card. Tanzania makes a series of mistakes.

While he was rather well positioned, Mejbri shot without conviction, and returned the ball to Tanzania. Strange sequence which benefits the Taifa Stars..

Guilty of having surrounded Mastouri who wanted to take his goalkeeper’s long clearance, Mwamnyeta is penalized, and offers a good free kick to Tunisia.

Msuva ends up on the ground, complaining about taking an elbow to the ribs. The Tanzanian winger gets up after a few seconds.

Quite discreet in this match, Tounekti works a cross from the right flank, but it is deflected by a defender, then captured by Masalanga.

Achouri gives way to Sassi.

Long unspectacular, this match begins to take another turn. Thanks to this goal, Tanzania could well secure a place at the next stage of the competition.

Well launched by Suleiman, Msuva found himself a little off-center to the right of the area, and fired a shot that was a little too cross, fleeing the Tunisian goal.

Samatta was replaced at the break by Suleiman.

Here we go again for this decisive duel in Group C, with Tanzania taking part.

Mnoga gains meters before slipping when placing his right shot. Unsurprisingly, it is therefore unscrewed and does not worry Dahmen.

With this goal, Tunisia is currently qualified for the round of 16 of the CAN. In this group, Nigeria leads by one goal against Uganda, and maintains its leading position.

There will be 4 minutes more in this first act.

This goal comes at a good time for Tunisia which had been in a weak situation for a few minutes. To see if Tanzania will be able to respond.

Mastouri got up, and the referee will go to see the VAR after this contact between Hamad and the Tunisian striker.

On Mejbri’s previous free kick, Mastouri took Hamad’s arm across the face and struggled to get up. The trainers intervene. To see if it could be reviewed for a potential penalty.

Tanzania leads an interesting counterattack, and Msuva is very close to regaining an opening in the Tunisian area, but Dahmen ensures his aerial exit.

Dahmen misses his recovery towards Mejbri and returns the ball to Tanzania. After a good start to the match, the Carthage Eagles had a few hiccups.

Tanzania gets its first corner of the match. It is shot by Miroshi, and deflected at the near post by Skhiri, then cleared even further by Tounekti.

Valery receives the first warning of the match. The more time passes, the more Tanzania gains confidence and moves forward.

Pressed by Salum, Skhiri who was the author of a good defensive return, misses his next control and concedes a touch quickly cleared by Abdi. Tunisia is less imperial at the moment.

Determined to try his luck in this match, Gharbi notices that Masalanga is advanced, and attempts a lob from midfield. It goes above the frame.

Captain Samatta sets an example by fighting like crazy not to give the ball back. He even wins a touch not far from the Tunisian surface.

While he was planning to pull away to catch a slightly missed opponent’s back pass, Abdi suffered a small obstruction. The Tunisians are surprised to see the referee not call a foul.

Found behind via a backheel from Mastouri, Gharbi attempts a new left strike that is much less precise than the first, because it flies away.

Served deep on the right, Mastouri is too alone, and chased by Hamad. The Tunisian attacker is forced to step back. Too bad for Tunisia that there were no people in front.

Mnoga strikes on the right to escape Mejbri, but his cross is intercepted by Skhiri. Tanzania also has offensive weapons.
