Tunisia is in danger of missing out the knockout stages of the African Cup of Nations following a 1-1 draw with Mali. The Eagles of Carthage on now on two points from their first two matches. Tunisia drew with Angola 1-1 in their first match.

After a dull first half, the game came to life in the second half. Mali went ahead on the hour mark after a goalkeeping error from Tunisia’s Mouez Hassen. A harmless corner was swung in by Diadie Samassekou and the goalkeeper made a complete mess of it leading the ball to trickle into the back of the net.

Tunisia was level minutes later through a Wahbi Khazri deflected free kick. The Saint Etienne striker was lucky to see his effort come off Moussa Marega and wrong-footed the Mali goalkeeper for the leveler.
