It half-time with both team : 1 – 1 draw.
As it stands, with Ivory Coast through to the next round and Algeria out of the tournament, this game will decide who follows Les Elephants into the latter section of Africa Cup of Nations!
Togo have a deserved lead, that’s for sure. They’ve looked far more lively than their opposition, and Gakpe was also a deserved goalscorer. Tunisia need to get the ball to Darragi and Msakni, so far they’ve been their only players of quality.
Tunisia must WIN to go through to the quarter finals, Togo can either draw OR win to progress. The pressure is certainly on the Sparro Hawks. However, as they’re yet to make it past the group stages in their history.
39″ Yellow Card booked by Youssef Msakni
Tunisia level from the spot thanks to Mouelhi! He sends Agassa the wrong way coolly, caressing the ball into the bottom corner. The penalty was given for a Nibombe push, silly foul.
