Tunisia battles South Africa in decisive clash for last chance at AFCON

Tunisia battles South Africa in decisive clash for last chance at AFCON

The Tunisian national team, led by coach Jalal Al-Qadri, is seeking victory and qualification to the Round of 16 in the Africa Cup of Nations as they face South Africa in a crucial match scheduled for 7:00 PM today, Wednesday, at the Amadou Ahidjo Stadium.

This encounter marks the final match of Group F in the 2023 AFCON group stage.

Tunisia faced setbacks in the first two rounds with an unexpected loss to Namibia in the opening match and a draw against Mali in the second round.

The Eagles of Carthage now find themselves in a challenging position, needing a win to secure advancement to the Round of 16.

In contrast, the South African national team secured a victory in their previous match against Namibia with a 4-0 scoreline, bouncing back from a 2-0 loss to Mali in their opening fixture.

South Africa aims to win to secure the top spot in the group, hoping for Mali to stumble against Namibia or for a draw, allowing them to advance as group runners-up or even as one of the best third-placed teams.

The match between Tunisia and South Africa promises a special duel between Ali Maâloul and Percy Tau, both players from the Al Ahly club.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed Senegalese international referee Issa Sy to officiate this decisive match.

He will be assisted by the Senegalese VAR referee in the VAR room, Dahan, from Mauritania.

Before the final round, the group standings are as follows:
– Mali: 4 points
– South Africa: 3 points
– Namibia: 3 points
– Tunisia: 1 point
