00:00Good captain of nations 2025 here on bean sports and today we bring you another group c fixture
00:10where Tunisia take on Uganda as both teams begin their campaign in this
00:21so we are underway Tunisia playing from right to left all in white kicking us off
00:30Uganda all in red
00:37just a point behind South Africa who took third place at the last Africa cover nations in Cote d'Ivoire or Ivory Coast last year
00:45a little bit of space here inside the area is there a chance for a shot there is
00:49Mugula in the Uganda goal but a promising opening very early on for the Tunisians
01:01Ali Abdi into Mejbri drop of the shoulder from the Burnley man
01:07outside of the boot into the middle it goes
01:09and he cannot guide that on target but a thumbs up Emma Masturi
01:16that's a nice play from Tunisia inventive stuff really good for Mejbri
01:20Mejbri with the delivery out swinger into space
01:35and into the back of the net as well well what a start for the Tunisians
01:39it comes Elliot Skeery leaping high and heading home
01:46goals hard to come by
01:48they've got to find their way back into this game two players unmarked at the far post
01:53routine stuff
01:56but Skeery did really well just to guide that
02:00inside the post Salim well beaten and he got over it well the Eintracht Frankfurt man
02:15still not fully clear and in the end it's Abdi who just packs it away
02:23and the referee reaching for his notebook
02:26no stranger to the referee's notebook and well I wonder from that angle it doesn't look as bad as the Salim
02:38happily gathers but then launches along and they give it away again Saad drop of the shoulder
02:47good defensive tackle for Maucho that's nice from Abdi space indeed oh that is absolutely stunning
02:54as Tunisia double their lead oh what a way to do it
03:01there are two goals to the good and it all came
03:05from Salim's ball forward we just came straight back to them
03:11this was nice from Saad
03:13Aucho thought he had done enough but then Abdi did really well
03:16and look at that for both a cross and a finish measured both of them controlled side-footed volley
03:31a moment to save up
03:32for Ashuri and a comfortable two nil
03:44well they can't because the referee puts his whistle to his lip
03:49and it's a halftime whistle to nil there is only one team inside the pitch creating dangerous opportunity and having better aims
04:03back over in Tunisia
04:09the 29 year old
04:12and they are back underway
04:17and the rain while still coming down it's far
04:20lighter than it was throughout that first half
04:24and it was from a delivery like this so they open the scoring through Skiri early on well that's too deep it
04:32goes over the head of Elias Skiri
04:38Mato down again and instantly the referee
04:40it's the first to the final in 2013 that was his first ever
04:52Nations Cup
04:53into Mejri
04:54and Mejri's pass just hitting the back of Sibic
04:57but still they come forward
04:59slightly heavy but it's four on three here for Tunisia
05:02space for Abdi to strike and they just surely make it three and they do
05:07that's Shuri with his second of the game
05:13and a third goal for Tunisia
05:18his first was
05:22something of beauty
05:24his second was very very routine and functional
05:27his second was very routine and a third goal for Tunisia
05:38the Tunisia are going top of the pile in Group C
05:46three goals clear
05:47and now doing better than
05:57Mato swings it out right a bit of space
06:01and a striker goal when it fizzed low and hard
06:04he could hit them earlier
06:12Dermen seeing it all the way
06:17Baba Alhassan also on well
06:19Bouguere doesn't turn 18 until February
06:23it will sit
06:36Baba Alhassan
06:40you can see why it's been
06:41well Mejri looking as though
06:45he fancies this
06:46it is Mejri and it's turned behind for a corner
06:52goalkeeper
06:57watched it all the way
07:04decent effort from Mejri just
07:08going inside
07:16that's a nice bit of control
07:21from Bemdumdam
07:22and that's a nice strike as well from him
07:28really just ghosted past
07:31he again the back line
07:36falling
07:38not a million miles away
07:46can Uganda sign off in style
07:54oh they can

08:12and Tunisia

08:28and
08:29Dermen with no chance of whatsoever
08:33Garbi will take the delivery
08:37out swing a free header
08:39oh that's a really good save
08:40from Salim Maghula
08:47firmly met
