Marc Lamti scored for Tunisia who lead 1-0 at halftime at Sheikha Stadium in Wadiya, Bnouakchout in Mauritania.

Hassan Ayari doubled the advantage for Tunisia in the second half.

Tunisia enjoyed a lion’s share of possession and should have scored more goals.

The likes of Baggio Nashxwa and Steven Damaseb were put in the starting line.
