00:29goalkeepers close down quickly and there's an opportunity here for Tunisia to take advantage
00:34ball comes out on the edge of the area but an excellent block there brilliant defending there
00:39by Morocco looks like the chance is brilliant start for Tunisia it was excellent closing
00:46down there by Jullidi on El Marche goes high it's towards El Marche who hasn't dealt with
00:59it well and that was a really good opportunity for Tunisia and in the end it fell to Adam
01:09Borgi excellent work on the right-hand side by Tabubi to get the cross in the goalkeeper
01:21didn't deal with it in the end it was an outstretched leg Jullidi
01:33Marco cope with the danger for now
01:40Jullidi
01:43decent cross El Marche has come out he's missed time for Hadric
01:49it's a brilliant cross the goalkeeper's come out for it he's absolutely missed it
01:58terrific ball in from Borgi Hadric has got his head to it in fact it's Tabubi
02:06it passed Hadric Tabubi got the header in there and it's gone wide
02:10the header in the end from Tabubi went wide
02:16free kick has been given here in a very dangerous area for Morocco
02:23Rabarge brought down
02:29referee was right on the spot there to witness the challenge from Tabti
02:42cross comes in from our way it's loose on the edge of the box and we have the
02:45opening goal of the contest and it has come to the visitors and it's Tunisia who
02:51have the lead thanks to Yahya Jullidi he's been one of their standout
03:00performers in the opening 20-25 minutes of this match and he has given them the
03:08opening goal high fives all round
03:12he was in a lot of space around the penalty spots he had time to bring the
03:23ball down with his chest swivel and shoot the ball past the goalkeeper Elmarsh
03:32got to question whether the Moroccan defender should have been a little bit tighter
03:37but he struck it well
03:42it's the perfect start fortune is against the reigning champions
03:54Bentelep
03:58Bentelep he does well to find Rabarge trying to come on to his favorite left foot cross comes over to
04:03Elahoud but he gets it all wrong
04:11you can feel the level of excitement of the fans raises whenever Rabarge has the ball
04:21lovely turn running into space driving at the Tunisia defense it's a really good run he's clipped shot comes in
04:30the referee doesn't give a foul there
04:34the goal scorer
04:38the boobies cross too heavy for Borgi
04:44Jullidi wins the ball back though goes for goal but
04:48easily kept out in the end by Elmarsh
04:59Jullidi
05:00Jullidi just took a little bit too long on the ball stolen from him by Jullidi
05:07good stop in the end by the goalkeeper
05:18and Salah loses possession
05:21Borgi on the attack
05:23he's brought down and he's won a free kick
05:26and that will be the first yellow card of the game
05:33well it's even Salah in the book
05:35or scorer
05:49Oh
05:49oh
05:50oh
05:50oh
05:51oh
06:14And that is halftime in Rabat.
06:18It hasn't gone to plan for the hosts and the reigning champions, Morocco.
06:24It's been a good performance throughout that match.
06:27And they have the lead as we get the second half underway in Rabat.
06:35It's Morocco nil, Tunisia won.
06:42Strong challenge there on Rabat.
06:44Lost control there completely.
06:48And Mlawar.
06:52He has gone into the referee's book there.
06:57Yellow card for the fullback.
07:03Mlawar who...
07:07That could have been a lot worse than it was for Rabat.
07:17It looks like the referee has been called over to look at the monitor.
07:23So, the VAR, Video Assistant Referee, isn't in play here.
07:30Instead, we have video support.
07:33That means coaches can ask the referee to look...
07:40I think he's calling the two coaches over.
07:57I think by the looks of it, he's stuck with his decision.
08:00He gets the return pass.
08:04He gets the return pass.
08:05He gets the return pass.
08:05Straight into the arms of...
08:11Ricocheting off the...
08:15Again, I think he is a good man who has been a good player.
08:17I think this is...
08:18For Belgium...
08:19He's going to have a good player.
08:25He's going to have a good player.
08:36I think he's going to have a good player.
08:45Rabaj has it, he's on the attack here
08:47onto his favourite left foot, he goes down in the box
08:49under the challenger, Moussa, the referee's not
08:51given a penalty that time
09:00I think he thinks
09:01that the referee might look at this on the monitor
09:04it's Moussa with the outstretched
09:05leg, he's clearly
09:07caught the attacker
09:15let's wait and see
09:17he's using the video
09:19support system, no VAR
09:21but when asked to by the coaches
09:23he can go over and look at the monitor
09:28they're just checking
09:29there's no offside
09:31and then it was a really good run by Rabaj
09:35explain his decision
09:39and he's decided
09:41no penalty
09:49hasn't been met kindly
09:52from the home supporters
09:57good run on this near side
09:59by Moustache
10:03Moussa was able to clear again
10:05it's a strong challenge
10:08he's in a little bit of pain
10:14challenge in the end there
10:15from Mazegiri
10:20Hadidi in the box
10:21can he get a shot away
10:22shot comes in
10:23it's into back the net
10:24and Morocco have their equaliser
10:28and it's from
10:31and it's from
10:32Ilyan Hadidi
10:33the standardly aged midfielder
10:38he had a sight a few minutes ago
10:41which didn't test
10:42D'Agru
10:43but this time the goalkeeper
10:45had no chance
10:46really nicely taken from the midfielder
10:54and Morocco are level
10:55and the home fans love it
10:57and the home fans love it
11:00Moustache's shot was blocked
11:01and Aoud lifted the ball over to Hadidi
11:04and I think it might be an home goal
11:07I think
11:10it's been shot
11:11no it wasn't
11:11it was Hadidi
11:12it's a lovely strike

11:30in the end
