00:00 Just moments away from the start of Tunisia Mali.
00:04 This is a Group E clash in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
00:11 Tunisia facing a cannot lose situation here today as
00:17 the Red and Whites were defeated back on match day one in dramatic fashion.
00:25 Tunisia Mali starts now on these courts.
00:28 We expect Tunisia to go to the wings.
00:39 These are some of the dream matches that you could definitely anticipate in the African
00:44 Cup of Nations.
00:45 Tunisia, who equals wested opportunities in the first half as a cross is bent in and palmed
00:52 away.
00:53 It's come off well, bringing in Haidara.
01:00 One-two touch, it touches the passes in the midfield and now advancing for the very first
01:02 time.
01:03 Mali getting to the box and a shot with their very first strike.
01:08 La Cine, Sina Yoko won the game for them on match day one.
01:15 Lively build up in here, all of a sudden switching up the temple of the game.
01:19 It was for Mali.
01:21 And with his very first strike, there was a hint of fortune about that hitting the upright.
01:26 It could have gone anywhere else, but as the fairy tale is for Mali, it could only end
01:31 up in one place, the back of the net and a lead.
01:36 Slim one, but a comfortable one to have at this point in the game.
01:40 Legends of the game.
01:42 Ronald Keshere, Stiga of Namibia.
01:45 Karim from Tunisia.
01:46 Interestingly, as a chance comes up here, the ball is palmed away.
01:51 Goes out here for a corner.
01:52 Why they need to make the ball go faster there.
01:53 Shot 14.
01:54 Now he gets his chance to get onto the ball and move it at the pace that he insists on.
02:00 And it looks like it's beginning to open up in here.
02:03 A chance here for Abdi.
02:04 Cut back.
02:05 Tap in.
02:06 Equaliser.
02:07 Swift.
02:08 Devastating.
02:09 Absolutely relentless.
02:10 First goal of the tournament.
02:11 It all started off with some quick ball movement, laying it on a plate.
02:20 And how about that for Swift?
02:22 Attack.
02:23 Just getting in.
02:25 Brilliant technique.
02:26 Getting the ball just below the body of Diara.
02:30 And somehow there was absolutely no way they could save that one for Mali.
02:36 Tunisia get their reward.
02:38 Whoever he is should be watching and licking his chops, wishing he would have been a part
02:43 of this game.
02:44 As a through pass comes in.
02:45 Well controlled by Haidara.
02:46 Shot from distance.
02:48 Well, that was troubling.
02:51 Brilliant control to bring that ball under his spell and set up a chance here for Dombier
02:56 to take that shot from distance.
02:59 Definitely Haidara.
03:00 Center back and just looking at where he got fouled.
03:03 Well, the up to plate shot.
03:05 Ben Slemani from distance.
03:09 Speculative.
03:10 The ball in.
03:11 Timely intervention.
03:12 Good interception there.
03:13 Ben Slemani a little too testy with his control there as the long ball is floated out.
03:18 This could be something good for Tunisia.
03:21 Ashouri opts to go for the cross.
03:25 Nodded down.
03:26 Nobody there to pick up the pieces.
03:29 Inviting his partner to venture forward.
03:31 Talbi.
03:32 Through pass.
03:33 Nicely laid off here.
03:35 Incoming.
03:36 Abdi.
03:37 Well, teased out here for him by Ben Slemani.
03:41 Took a touch.
03:44 Took a look up.
03:45 Took the shot.
03:46 If that had gone a few inches lower, well, probably would be telling a very different
03:51 story.
03:52 They have to give the stand a chance to go through to the second round because tomorrow's
03:58 result is not in their hands.
04:01 They need to work on what's in their hands and this is to beat Mali.
04:04 Mali picks up his 99th cup.
04:07 Yusuf Sakmi.
04:08 The next game as the ball comes in here.
04:11 Cleared away a chance and has a couple of bodies on the ground.
04:15 Shakes, worries and ultimately the referee now will draw the attention of the medical
04:22 team.
04:23 Was a searching ball.
04:25 The defender and goalkeeper coming out to try and make sure that Sinayoko would not
04:31 be the man to control that ball.
04:33 In the end, well, they turned out to be quite a bit of collateral damage.
04:37 But you have to say in the aftermath, Mali not ruthless enough to take full use of that
04:44 opportunity and capitalize and probably seek a goal.
04:46 So five minutes of the second half already worked out.
04:52 Plenty of those spent with an injury, but a chance here for Mali to look to gain space
04:57 and go forward.
04:58 A shot.
04:59 Well, he dragged his shot there.
05:02 Two thoughts about going far out on the far post and decided to just try and sneak it
05:07 to the near post.
05:08 I think the goalkeeper might have had a hint of a fingertip to that ball.
05:12 Their fans cheering the fact that they were not losing possession.
05:16 Interesting sequence.
05:17 Well, a through pass now freeing up Sakho Falaye.
05:20 Can he make the cut back?
05:21 Brilliant cross attempting to get a tap onto the ball.
05:24 The captain Traore.
05:25 Guarded.
05:26 He started off Tunisia with a chance to defend now a shot from distance.
05:37 Not quite convincing from Lassana Koulibaly picking the pocket there of Ashuri.
05:41 Not for long Tunisia get onto the ball once again.
05:46 Sakne Yusuf to the ball looking to probe.
05:51 Can it cross to no one in particular?
05:54 Diara nearly making a clanger there.
05:58 Searches through the centre of the park.
05:59 One touch movement here from Haidaran opens up some space but unable to get to the ball
06:04 to connect with it.
06:06 Sakho Koita.
06:07 Koiate.
06:08 Traore.
06:09 Semaseko.
06:10 Weaves some space on the wing and now gets the cross in.
06:21 Poor connection attempting to keep it in play.
06:25 Lassana Sinayoko with a glorious opportunity.
06:30 Only a tip in here was necessary for him and he failed to connect with that.
06:35 Very uncharacteristic like for Sinayoko.
06:40 Wanted to control it one stage, wanted to hit it first time.
06:44 Saul Mali once again venturing forward.
06:47 Pass out onto the wing and a chance here for another tap in.
06:52 Well Mali could live to rule these chances.
06:57 Sinayoko signature play right through the wing.
07:02 Laid the ball into his path.
07:05 A tap in would suffice and sky high it goes.
07:11 Ten minutes left to play.
07:13 What do they choose to do on the attack once again?
07:15 This is another foray to the box area.
07:17 Chance and a shot here.
07:19 Timely intervention.
07:20 There are bills for handball.
07:25 It was a very decent opportunity.
07:29 Zeifala with a touch tried to bend that in.
07:32 Referee opted to play the advantage.
07:36 A shot coming in.
07:38 Nene picks up support in the midfield.
07:42 Long searching ball.
07:45 Supporting here.
07:46 Once again Tunisia still have possession.
07:49 Sakho.
07:50 I'm sorry that was Mali still in possession.
07:53 Sakho getting the ball into the box area.
07:55 Nice return ball.
07:56 The shot comes up but in the end it's one from desperacy.
07:59 Rana Thurman intent.
08:00 Will be the centre of attention given his few displays and a shot here.
08:07 As has been the story of the entire game.
08:12 Looking to take this one.
08:14 Probably would go for the far post.
08:16 Let it slide and that just goes.
08:22 Whistling away.
08:23 Another attempt here by Emesoma.
08:27 Target that was troubling.
08:30 You have to make the goalkeeper work.
08:33 You have to hit the target.
08:36 What a rocket.
08:38 Have to get it on here at the Amadou Gon-Koulibaly Stadium.
08:45 This kind of result is one that plays especially to their hands.
08:52 An important point for Tunisia.
08:56 Mali went in front and they were caught.
09:00 It ends 1-1.
09:01 Amadou Gon-Koulibaly.
09:06 (explosion)
