- Tunisia 2:0 (final)
Before the match
First match for new Tunisian
coach Eckhard Krautzun who has replaced Italian Scolgio who left to help
his home club Genova 93 to fight relegation in Italies Serie B. The loser
of this match surely will become nervous though both would still be able
to qualify by their own force in the remaining matches. But both need confidence
for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers
1st half
-Morocco in green shirts,
green shorts, with red stockings, Tunisia in all white
-('9) Tunisia: Jaziri sharp
shot, 17 m, wide
-('10) Jaziri with another
strong scene, but no effect
-Tunisia play confident,
energetic, and attacking, strong #13 Trabelsi? on the right hand side
-('13)
red card for Tunisian Gabsi after a bodycheck that did not look any mean
from distance - the Tunisians are furious
-the ref becomes the definite
star of the game:
-('18) away from the
ball a Tunisian player falls inside the penalty are, maybe holding, and
the referee decides penalty - #12 sends the keeper into the wrong corner
and ... hits the goalpost
-('20) Morocco want penalty
when Jaidi slides into a cross and touches the ball with his hand, ref
says not intentional, gives corner
-('21) Hadji corner flies
in and Chippo, in the middle of a three attackers vs two defenders mismatch,
heads it into the net - 1:0
- a tough, tough, tough
beginning for Tunisia
-('26) Morocco: camacho
header after corner, wide
-the events have changed
the match: morocco in control now, Tunisia hoping for counter oppoertunities
-('37) Morocco bad marking
during such a counter leaves a Tunsian player all alone at the 16 meter
line, he shoots but Morocco keeper can save
-('37) this leads to a direct
counter attack by Morocco, which is stopped by a foul 18 m to the goal,
central position
-('38) Chippo? fires wide
about a meter
-('43) Tunisian Badra gets
a yellow card after being angry at a questionable offside call (before
in the half there had been yellow cards for fouls against Morocco as well)
halftime 1:0
a very unlucky development
of the match for Tunisia. Concerning the referee: it is not in the individual,
it is in the rules, that particular peripherical events have such a strong
influence on the core of the game
2nd half
-('52) Morocco: Ramzi hits
the outside of the net with a fine direct 16 m shot
-('54) Morocco have Tunisian
defenders otnumbered but Hadji becomes irritated by a last moment defending
-('56) the Moroccan keeper
intercepts a corner, boots the ball immediately upfront and Hadji runs
unchallenged in direction to the goal, but from the right hand side - a
defender thretens to cut his way, so Hadji shoots, but his attempt is harmless
-('61) Morocco: a fast
counter attack via Hadji who runs down the right wing, centers the ball
perfectly for Camacho (Hadda) who hits the goalpost from where it - in
opposite to the Tunisian penalty - bounces it into the goal - 2:0
-('63) Tunisians in complete
disarray, but Morocco waste another huge chance
-('64) El Ouaer saves a
Camacho shot for a corner
-Tunisia, having lost
confidence and concentration, now under severe pressure, as they sem to
lose their organisation on the field - Morocco with a lot of momentum now,
perhaps a bit overconfident
- ('69) Morocco: three attackers
run towards El Ouaer without any defender near but they cannot get the
ball past the Tunisian keeper
- ('70) Morocco: Ramzi wide
by a close margin aafter a corner
-it is conspicious than
many times Tunisian defence has allowed unchallenged headers after corner
kicks
-('72) Tunisia: Jaidi, a
defender who is often everywhere on the field, in a desperate attempt to
turn events, almost profits from casual defending
-('73) El Ouaer saves a
deflected shot
-only few goal scenes
in the following as the match becomes more quite
result 2:0
After the turn of events
early in first half, Tunisia, after a strong beginning, was without chance |
