00:00No more room for mistakes for Madagascar.

00:07This is a must-win match for them as they take on Tunisia in South Africa in round five

00:14of these Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

00:18Madagascar, bottom of Group A, take on the Grechtag Afcon Q 2025.

00:25And this is good play here by El Abdi.

00:28Searching Paul, Tremoulé comes, misses and it's put away Hamza Rafia.

00:38Just as Madagascar created a very dangerous chance, it is Tunisia who strike immediately

00:44to give Keis Yacoubi the first goal of his interim stint at the head of the Eagles.

00:52The Licheman in Serie A applies the finish with a goalkeeper out of his net.

01:03Pierre Gardez will be a little bit disappointed with that one.

01:06And now Madagascar have got a mountain to climb.

01:10He'll be deflating for them particularly after their start but all credit to Hamza

01:14Rafia.

01:15It's a goal that for now qualifies Tunisia.

01:18Oxford quite comfortably in the Europa League in the end.

01:24Corner here for Madagascar and Mimicius dropped it and he's dropped it into his own net.

01:30What a moment of drama.

01:32He didn't look particularly comfortable, the young goalkeeper and Madagascar can celebrate

01:40an improbable equaliser but it's just reward for all of their attacking endeavours and

01:48Tunisia will know that they can't just relax in this.

01:52With a huge mistake, oh that's when he's going to have nightmares about the keeper.

02:12Only 20 years old, it's been Tunisia's main goalkeeper, they're not fit, which of course

02:24they can't be, perhaps a little bit tired, it's a more plausible solution but they need

02:32to try and play a little bit better and this is excellent play and it's put away emphatically.

02:41El Tayef taps the badge and restores Tunisia's lead.

02:51They've been far from comfortable in this game so far Tunisia but they do have the quality

02:59in their ranks and it showed there.

03:03Not through but this finish is absolutely unstoppable.

03:11And it'll make everyone in the Tunisian camp breathe a little bit more easily, that goal.

03:16It's now Madagascar 1, Tunisia 2 here at the Loftus-Wersfels stadium.

03:28But it might open up for them on the counter, Jean-Pierre picks out Amada, edge of the box

03:36and there's the equaliser for Madagascar.

03:43This is some game, it's the skipper with a goal that might just keep his country's hopes

03:56of qualification alive.

04:07Jean-Pierre allowed to go forwards, they close him down lazily and Mimic is beaten at his

04:15near post as well.

04:18It takes a deflection I think off the Tunisian defender, maybe this angle will show us a

04:23little bit better.

04:30Unbridled joy in the stands from the Madagascar supporters and the half-time whistle goes

04:35here at the Loftus-Wersfels stadium.

04:37What a first half it's been.

04:42A score at the break here, Madagascar 2, Tunisia 2.

04:46Madagascar's hopes of qualifying still alive, Tunisia's hopes of qualifying in the balance

04:51still as the...

04:59Well off we go, second half between Madagascar and Tunisia here in Pretoria, South Africa.

05:05It's all square at half-time, it's been a really exciting game of football, mistakes,

05:10good finishes, good football and it sets up what should be a really interesting second

05:17half.

05:18Madagascar with the obligation to win to keep their qualif...

05:30Hannibal Magibri, Laidouni, Benromdan, Layouni now, Ryan Layouni, great skill and it is tucked

05:45away at the far post by El Abdi.

05:53You could tell, you just knew that there was another goal in this game, it has been non-stop

06:00entertainment.

06:08Tunisia have surely booked their place now in Morocco.

06:16It just deflects into the path of El Abdi at the far post.

06:24Good work from Layouni.

06:30And finally Tunisia have that all-important third goal.

06:40Shot deflected and Aymen can take the sting out of it.

06:46He'll be a relieved man, Kishkida.

06:59What a fantastic game of football at the Loftus-Fersville Stadium.

07:03Tunisia book their place for the final tournament in Morocco with a dramatic 3-2 win over Madagascar

07:11for the Baréa.

07:12It is all over in this qualifying campaign.

07:17They are knocked out of the Total Energy's CAF Africa Cup of Nations.

07:22Morocco 25 qualifies.

07:25Tunisia came up with the goods when needed.

07:28Tunisia far from a reassuring performance but the Eagles of Carthage have got the job
