But Mali haven’t even tested him yet. Ibrahim Mounkoro in the Malian goal has been equally redundant. It will be interesting, sort of, to see whether these teams will remain as impotent in the second half. Half-time: Tunisia 0-0 MaliThere have only been six goals from open play in nine and half matches at this tournament so far: it doesn’t really look like one is going to come here because neither team has looked sharp around the box. At least Mali have got into decent positions thanks to strong and clever play in midfield but they’ve rarely stretched Tunisia’s wily defence.
Bissouma slips the ball to the winger, who flies past Mathlouthi before falling in the box. But the ref judges - correctly - that the defenders stretched out a leg and tipped the ball away before the fall. 59 min: Mali substitution: on comes Yves Bissouma, in place of Nos Traoré55 min: From about six yards to the left of the D and just two yards outside the box, Khazri curls the freekick over the five-man wall.
Without him, Youssef Msakni and Naïm Sliti will be their main goal threats. Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri could also feature, adding to his 12 senior caps. Equatorial Guinea team newsEmilio Nsue will lead the line for the visitors, looking to add to his 13 goals for Equatorial Guinea. This season, he's made eight international appearances whilst only playing ten times for club Tuzla City who he was with for just two months. Former West Ham United man Pedro Obiang, now of Sassuolo, is their star in midfield.

Anyway, Nos Traore sends over the freekick, which Tunisia again clear well. 31 min: Talbi does well to hold off Koné after stepping in front of him to guide the ball back towards the keeper, who wellies clear. 29 min: A drinks break, which is only right when the temperature is 34 degrees and humidity is 65%.

They’ve got plenty of of men forward but still their crossing and passing around the box is awry. 83 min: El Bilal cuts in from the right and slides the ball into the path of F Coulibaly... who had strayed offside. 81 min: Mali substitutions: L Coulibaly and El Bilal on, A Haidara and Djenepo off. Penalty saved! Khazri slammed it to the keeper’s right around mid-height.
90 min: The ref blows for full-time, with 89 minutes and 47 seconds gone, according to the clock on the TV screen. Tunisia’s manager and backroom staff stream on to the pitch to demand an explanation, pointing angrily at their watches. This has been a bizarre conclusion to the match. The ref and his assistants are surrounded by stewards for their protection and then ushered off the pitch. He’ll have some explaining to do later: his time-keeping seemed very odd and his red card decision excessively harsh. The penalty decisions, mind you, were reasonable: Mali scored from the spot and Tunisia missed, and that’s why the three points go to Mali.
51 min: Khazri, no stranger to the spectacular, tries to catch the keeper by surprise from about 35 yards. Not quite accurate enough. 50 min: Another penalty!? No, as the ref waves away Malian appeals after Malouda Traore seems to be brought down after chopping past one defender and on to his right foot.
But I’m not sure that alone explains how they have been able to have so much of the play since then: Mali have brought some of it on themselves by growing too cautious. 66 min: Tunisia substitution: Ben Slimane on, Laidouni off. 64 min: Bronn opens fire from 40 yards. It’s a fierce wobbly one so Mounkoro decides not to risk catching it and instead punches it wide. 60 min: Bissouma receives the ball wide on the left and holds on to it until Djenepo offers the overlap option.
44 min: Malouda Traoré slaloms between two defenders wide on the left but then runs straight into the third and concedes a freekick. That kind of sums up Mali so far: they’ve done a lot of good stuff until they reach the final third, where it all tends to peter out. 40 min: Massadio Haidara decides to have a whack from long range - and it’s a fine effort, whizzing just wide of the post from over 20 yards.
5 goals is 15/8. Match previewThe big two in Group J go head-to-head at Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi. Tunisia have enjoyed mix fortunes in 2022 so far, firstly crashing out of the Africa Cup of Nations at the quarter-final stage. Nevertheless, the Eagles of Carthage bounced back in March by qualifying for the World Cup, edging out Mali 1-0 in aggregate in the play-offs. So, later this year, Jalel Kadri will lead his country at their sixth World Cup where they’ll face Denmark, probably Peru and France. Before then, they kick off Africa Cup of Nations qualifying with a tough matchday one fixture.
Tunisia, meanwhile, did not worry Mali’s defenders until stoppage time in the first period. 45+1 min: Khazri - barely seen for a while - conjurers an opening up front, nipping the ball into Mejbri and darting into the box to receive the lay-back. Haidara makes a n excellent block, turning away Khzari’s shot from 16 yards. Mali got away with one there: Mejbri didn’t seem to realise that he could have turned and taken a shot from even closer himself.

37 min: Good move by Mali. Koné did well when the ball came to him just outside the D, where he held off three defenders before shoving it wide to Djenepo on the left. The Southampton winger clipped a delicate pass towards the far post, where Malouda Traoré narrowly failed to connect, under pressure from Maaloul. 36 min: An absolutely dreadful delivery from Khazri, lofting a freekick from the left way over the bar when, for once, he had players awaiting a cross in the box. 33 min: Bronn brings down Djenepo, conceding a freekick on the right wing. But Djenepo then gets a yellow card for reasons unclear.
