Tunisia failed to win in its second CAN match, this Saturday against Mali (1-1).
Like its Algerian neighbor, Tunisia is struggling to start the second in this African Cup of Nations. After being beaten by Namibia (0-1), the Carthage Eagles could not do better than a parity score against Mali (1-1).
A reactionary Tunisia
For this second part, the Tunisians entered with better intentions. But their ardor was cooled quite quickly. From the 10e minute, they found themselves behind at the mark. Lassine Sinayoko, the AJ Auxerre player, punished them with a low shot at ground level, at the conclusion of a good collective movement by the Malians.
Failing to act, Tunisia was able to react well. From the 20e minute, equalization was ensured. Hamza Rafia revived his team by taking the lead from close range, following a cross from Abdi. Invigorated by this goal, the North Africans could have gone for a second achievement straight away. In vain. At the end of the first period, a penalty could have been whistled in favor of the Tunisians.
The second period was rather open and lively, but there was no goal scored. The Malians were the closest to winning the bet, with a few clear chances. No result.
Mali takes control of its group, with four units on its counter. Tunisia, for its part, pockets its 1er point, but she is still far from qualifying. At least she remains alive and with destiny in her hands for a passage to 8th grade.
