1st half
-Tunisia in all white, Zambia in yellow socks, black shorts, and yellow shirts
-('1) Zambia begin with a blitz attack, but #8 Charles Lota does not reach the #10 Dennis Lota cross, as the Tunisian defence is surprised
-('3) Tunisia look dangerous the first time
-the match looks to develop much less reserved than the matches so far
-('13) The match has become fragmented and despite its fast tempo not very attractive
-('15) Tunisians play through and a short cross finds #7 Mhadhebi free in front of the goal who's header goes across the bar. He claims to have been pushed from behind but the referee waves on
-('22) #7 Mhadhebi hits the goalpost with a fine effort from 10 meters
-('28) Zambia with a dangerous attack
-('35) Tunisia have a few goalscenes, but not really dangerous
-('38) a long ball on Dennis Lota causes some chaos among the Tuisian defenders, but El Ouaer intervenes in time
-('41) error in the zambian defence but the Tunisian attacker is too slow and loses the ball again
-the pace seems too high for accurate football
-'(44) brutal challenge by Tunisian #5, jumping into an opponent with two legs, but the referee does not think it's red
-('injury time) Baya with an opportunity but his curved shot is too soft for the keeper
halftime 0:0

2nd half
-('48) Tunisia begin attacking and impose pressure on the Zambian defence
-('51) Baya attempts a bycicle kick but high across the bar. Again Zambia had been under pressure after a corner
-('62) yet the Zambian defence has resisted but here it needed a courageous intervention by Zambian goalkeeper David Phiri as his defenders were already played out
-('67) Tunisian #13 Bouazizi, conspicious in midfield in first half fires high across the bar
-('69) Tunisian corner and a Zambian defender has to rescue on the line against the header by Daasi, who has come on as substitute
-('70) more Tunisian pressure, this time Phiri grabs the ball
-judging from today Zambia can hardly be expected to advance. But they could steal some points from the favorites here if they can escape until the end of the match
-('71) long ball on Dennis Lota who has escaped the defenders running towards the keeper. But he blows the ball across the bar. Maybe the ground had its influence.
-('75) chaos in the Zambian defence when Daasi and Zabi are trying to connect and defenders seem to have lost orientation, Phiri rescues
-('79) Daassi just can't reach the cross by Bouzaene, a good opportunity because two Tunisian attackers had not been tightly marked
-('83) the match exclusively takes place in the Zambian half at the moment
-('85) Zambia: a sudden counter attack via Dennis Lota and Chokri El Ouaer rescues the draw for Tunisia by a great save against the Charles Lota Shot from half left.
-('87) Zambia who have smelled three points attack with four players and this obviously confuses the Tunisians. A very dangerous situation, but offside and El Ouaer again to save the North Africans.
-Zambians seem a bit overexcited now as vwell in attack as in defence
-('90) Tunisia: half chance for Zabi

final score 0:0
