00:00And we get underway with Tunisia.
00:21Three points.
00:22There's the ball through.
00:46Ten minutes on the clock.
00:48First chance of the match from a set piece for Tunisia.
00:53And the rebound is in from Ali Abdi.
01:04Sibi saved the ball up into the air and Ali Abdi was there to bag his third goal for Tunisia.
01:13Eleven minutes gone.
01:16The Gambia nil, Tunisia won.
01:30Onside and very quick reactions, you have to say, it wasn't a great free kick.
01:42The bounce of the ball caught out Sibi as it came through the wall as well.
01:53Gambia getting on with the game very quickly, Fodera picks it up here now.
01:57Overlap coming from Ibutore.
02:02Fodera goes round in a circle himself, finds the space for Darboe.
02:06Now out to the right for Mintek.
02:09Goes one way, goes the other.
02:10What a great run, and the turn is in.
02:15Ali Sohei draws the Gambia level.
02:25Great running from Yankubu Mintek and it's an immediate response for Johnny McKinstry's
02:34team.
02:35Clearly onside there and caused such trouble by running at the defence and it fell to Ali
02:45Sohei who managed to turn and shoot, got a deflection I think on the way through.
02:55But it was Yankubu Mintek who had two Tunisian defenders on the floor.
03:04Markfrey kicked down the line, ball's drilled in low and it's up rather than out by Ali
03:10Abdi.
03:11Doesn't win the ball.
03:12Appeals for handball but the hands were behind the back, a block coming in from Sassi.
03:23Well one back here, Moussa Barrow charging in on goal, Barrow, one way, the other, good
03:31stop by Mimic.
03:35Again, little chip over the top and the pass is just a little adrift but the chance is
03:43there anyway, blazed over for it.
03:51Gambia managed to keep possession here and a lot of pace coming through the middle, looking
03:57for half a yard.
03:58There's a man over on the left for Mintek, Mintek finds him and it's just past the post.
04:04Ali and Federer with another goal, then Ramdhani, Sassi fancies it and now the Gambia are on
04:20a real counter attack here with Federer, he's got Mintek with him, Mintek, great save.
04:28Soe is still there though.
04:40And now that is a whistle, the half time whistle and we have a draw 1-1.
04:50The Gambia 1, Tunisia 1.
04:54The Gambia drew their opening match against Comoros, Tunisia winning 1-0 with a last minute
05:01goal against Madagascar, so Tunisia top the group at the moment after the first match
05:05day.
05:06Here's a chance for the substitute, good save by Sheikh Sibi but Hatim Juni really should
05:15have scored.
05:17Rafia loses the ball, Hamza Bari loses the ball.
05:24Here comes the overlap from Bousniba, delivers the cross but red by James Gomez.
05:35Rafia in the area.
05:41Fizzed in by Federni, Sassi.
05:43A lot of space on the right hand side now for Bousniba.
05:48Down the line for Benoit Nussi.
05:51Benoit Nussi's delivery.
05:55Abdi, Rafia, the shot is under the head and the keeper makes it.
06:03Looked like it was going to be a 1-0 victory back in 2021.
06:09Long ball forward, the flick-on's there.
06:11Minte into the penalty area.
06:14Saoui's with him.
06:16Minte!
06:18Shot blocked.
06:21Minte again plays it right across the face of goal.
06:26And neither Saoui.
06:29Here he is now over on the right hand side, Benrom Danek.
06:39Benrom Danek.
06:44Tunisia have the lead.
06:48He started the move and he finished it.
06:52And Mohamed Benrom Danek
06:57gives Tunisia the advantage with 15 minutes to go.
07:02Farouzi Benzati's team
07:06have been in control of the ball onside
07:10in that pass out and then he had so much time to pick his spot
07:16once the ball came back in from Bousniba.
07:22Morocco take a 2-1 lead against The Gambia.
07:26Did really well to pick out the bottom corner here.
07:28Got it in between the two centre-backs, Omar Colley and James Gomez.
07:37That would be very comfortable for them to see out the match.
07:40Raphia delivers.
07:44Gomez gets it away.
07:46Absolutely straightforward for Memic.
07:55Robbed.
07:58Minte.
08:00Back out to the right for Cissé.
08:05Mente.
08:08Mente.
08:10Mente.
08:13Mente.
08:14Mente.
08:16Another corner.
08:22Long ball looking for Giugni down the left.
08:25Benouenessi wins the throw.
08:38Leaves it for Ali Abdi.
08:41There's the final whistle.
08:44So the game is over ladies and gentlemen and the three points are for Tunisia.
08:53What a great victory.
