1st half:
- Tunisia in all white, Côte d'Ivoire in green/orange/white shirts, green shorts and stockings
-('2) Tunisia with the expected blitz start, Kanzari storms down the left hand side, centers, and #4 Gabsi  jumps into his perfect cross, takking it directly but misses the goal by about a meter. He crushes against the goalpost and has to get treated for more than a minute
-('6) first corner for Côte d'Ivoire
-('9) unnecessary corner for Tunisia and in the second attempt a cross finds Trabelsi in prominent pposition - only his header is much to weak to threaten the Ivorian goal
-Côte d'Ivoire look quite good, but up to here Tunisia play so agressive that the Ivorians are in trouble to breath
-('13) Tunisia: Kanzari is trying to get a penalty, whe feeling touched by a defenders hand he jumps and dives - the reward: a yellow card for him
-attack after attack rolls towards the Ivorian goal, the build up attempts by the West Africans are suffocated by immediate pressing
-('17) Tunisia: free kick from the left hand  corner of the penalty area: Kanzari fires directly and the keeper tips it over the bar
-('17) the corner flies in and Gabsi heads it against the goalpost
-('18) Tunisia: Jaziri in good position stopped by an offside call
-Tunisia will not be able to go that pace for 90 minutes
-('21) Tunisia: another corner finds Gabsi and his header is fisted from the line after a spectacular reaction by the Ivorian keeper. He had been lucky the short range header came quite on the middle of the goal
-('27) after afoul by an Ivorian defender players push and shove, El Ouaer is out of is goal and right in the middle of it. The referee ignores the situation and only has eyes for the injured player and his medical treatment -  so he does not have to show any yellow cards...
-('30) very good defensive work: an Ivorian defender deprives Jaziri of the ball by putting his body on between
-('32) Côte d'Ivoire: free kick from the right hand side and a very rare dangerous situation when the cross which has flown over the entire defence is headed back into the midlle
-Côte d'Ivoire now has more space in midfield and is using it
-('34) through ball on Bakayoko who escapes his defender, curves around El Ouaer and scores with style - 0:1
-('35) Tunisia catch Côte d'Ivoire celebrating and the Ivorians are lucky to escape
-(36) Bakayoko and Aruna Dindane scare the Tunisian defence by their skills
-('38) Tunisia: again Gabsi is ably to get an undisputed header off after a corner, this time it is really harmless
-('39) Côte d'Ivoire: Trabelsi is deprived of the ball in midfield and Bakayoko, sent by Aruna, has three attempts but cannot get the ball past El Ouaer 
-Tunisia is paying for the high pace now, they try to get free kicks now
-('42) Tunisia: a dangerous attack, a Sellimi cross, a header which bounces off a defender for a corner, is it the chest? is it the arm? the Tunisians want penalty but the referee says no.
-('44) mismatch in the Tunisian defence, Bakayoko sends #15 Kalou? who curves around El Ouaer, falls over him, but the referee remains consequent and denies what looks like a penalty
-('injury time) Tunisia: another controversial scene on the other side - a difficult job for the ref today

halftime 0:1

2nd half:
- Tunisia have substituted #3 Trabelsi and #4 Gabsi  (#10 and #6 are in)
-('50) the Ivorian defence (and defensive midfield) looks a bit disorganised and Tunisia score by a Jaziri header - 1:1
-('54)Tunisia have gained confidence and cause a lot of scare among the Ivorian defenders by high pace attacking again
-('55) Côte d'Ivoire: #12 Keita, replaces Aruna Dindane
-('56) Côte d'Ivoire with a counter attack and El Ouaer saves a diagonal shot for a corner
-('65) long flying ball on Baya who is stopped by the keeper and a defender
-('66) both teams with fast counter-attacks stopped by good defence
-('67) Sellimi 'works out' the penalty he was trying for several times in wrestling matches, this one seems doubtful:
-('68) Sellimi tries himself - the keeper saves the low shot
-('69) Côte d'Ivoire: El Ouaer is the winner in a one against one situation after Bakayoko has been broken through
-('71) Tunisia: #10 shoots wide, a minute late Baya cannot convert a promising cross
-('72) Côte d'Ivoire: stopped by El Ouaer who intercepts a ball
-('77) Côte d'Ivoire: Keita manages to beat two defenders on the wing but his centereed ball does not find his three well positioned teammates in front of the goal
-Tunisians have tried to save their forces in the second half and play more a counter attacking style
-('79) Côte d'Ivoire: an Ivorian breaks through on the left wing, but again a miserable rossspoils the fine effort - a lck of practised patterns?
-at the moment the Tunisians seem more in a hurry than the Ivorians, though the result should suit them more
-('85) both with half chances
-('86) Ali Zirouni who has come on as a substitute tests the keeper by a low diagonal shot
-('87) an Ivorian defender is missing for injury treatment and a Tunisian corner causes another dangerous situation
-('88) Sellimi pushes an Ivorian direct into the face in front of the referee, first he does not react, after consultation with the assistant he shows both players the red card, something more must have taken place before
-there should be some time added after some injury time out and this interruption before and after the red cards
-('injury time) match is over after only 2 minutes injury time

final score 1:1
A fair result in a good game. This leaves Tunisia in the better position with only one away game left and the better goal difference.
