00:00coming to the end of his international career though he hasn't made a any
00:03official announcement on that just as yet as a Tunisia get us underway then
00:09here in Abidjan Comoros at home to Tunisia here in Cote d'Ivoire
00:17expect Tunisia to boss possession Comoros to want to play on the counter-attack
00:34no way through there though for Mawlida
00:47now space opening up on the right-hand side Bushneba bringing the ball forward
00:53unchallenged plenty of time to measure across in there and the header goes wide
00:58well just slightly missed time there from Jaziri and inaccurately as well in all of a sudden
01:03there's a break on here for Comoros Bushneba grounded
01:09wet green shirt Suema in the middle but not really getting any separation anything like that at the
01:15moment swung into the near post headed away by Jaziri everyone behind the ball for Tunisia
01:27and also dragged Tunisia back into things as well as the cross comes in missed by two
01:33Hannibal sets it up for Benhamida Benhamida flicks one in there and Jaziri goes down so easily there
01:46Ishmael Boura to take this is he going to aim at that top corner yes he has come off the post
01:54the keeper beaten all ends up there by Boura
02:04Hannibal with room to turn and run now goes past one goes past another nice ball through
02:10just a little bit too much on it the teammates that made such a difference
02:17coming forwards first time Comoros have looked open shall we say there's a nice ball fed in there and well
02:29oh a nice turn using his strength there from Rafia now he's made some space for
02:33white shirts to Weymouth and a fifth one comes in and only just over the crossbar
02:40Hannibal now again with space to run into cuts it inside
02:50goes for the return ball maybe just one or two passes too many
02:57oh the shot deflected up into the air could have gone anywhere for a moment
03:03happens to be in the right place as the volley came back in
03:08and that's it for the first half here then in Abidjan
03:15our hosts for the game at Comoros certainly having the better of things it for the majority
03:21of that first half Tunisia though coming back strongly near the end of the 45 both teams hitting
03:28the upright Teclumogos Sege from Eritrea gets us back underway for the second half in Abidjan
03:36Comoros all in green kicking from right to left in the second half here
03:43having already taken a famous victory away to Tunisia four days ago in Tunis
03:57and any sort of result here for Comoros either a draw or win would
04:02well a win will put them top of the group looks at his options five work white shirts in and around
04:07the penalty spot two more hanging around outside the D whips one in there the keeper came for it
04:12got nowhere near Comoros able to clear their lines push out
04:25making some space down this left hand side Saeed runs at his man but Bushneba
04:30eventually gets the cross into the back post in comes the header and there's the opener for Comoros
04:3549 minutes in and it's the hosts that take the lead
04:46Faheed Salimani I think it is at the bottom of that pile
04:51there are the home fans in that stand below us there
04:55nice move down the left hand side nice cross here from
05:02Rafiki Saeed measured it and it's the captain downward header beating the sprawling keeper Mimic
05:14Mimic
05:23it's Comoros who've taken the lead here early in the second half
05:32now should the defender be beaten in front of him like that probably not a little bit too
05:44bit soft there from Ben Hamida brought it outside to Ben Hamida
05:50he puts it over the top but the keeper a little bit slow coming out there a bit of a
05:55mix-up at the back well they've gone away with one there of Comoros he's thinking the same thing here
06:03you've got five green shirts to aim at I think they're going to get ignored on this one
06:07Salimani just go for it a little bit too over the top and the keeper I think could see that
06:12one coming as well
06:19Tunisia coming forward lots of white shirts forward here Benchiba and the shot comes in
06:25at first time but better from Tunisia though Bushni but getting some separation down that
06:32right Frank for pretty much the first time today
06:37midway through second half corner comes in and there's the equalizer
06:42flying header at the near post slammed home by Yassine Maraia at the back post
06:57and Tunisia back on level terms
07:01and that's only the second time in 10 games that Tunisia that's how tight their games have been it
07:06was a fantastic flying header at the near post that through the home defense there was a lot
07:14of players there no one really defending the back post but the flying header from Hamza Rafia
07:22all volleyed in there as well and they're keeping it ever so well Mamesh and the shot comes in again
07:26double save from the goalkeeper and eventually headed behind for a corner
07:38it's just opening up for them here for just for a moment
07:44as the shot comes in and that's been skillfully caressed just over the stanchion by Ben Ramdhani
07:52nice ball out from the back for Abdallah goes past one Abdallah and there's space on this
07:58near side now for Matuah, Matuah puts the ball across goal well cut out by Mamesh
08:04kept his call there the 20 year old keeper
08:08have they got time to find a winner here that would make such a difference to their qualification
08:14prospects nice turn in the area from Ben Ramdhani well saved at his near post
08:20good goalkeeping from Pandor
08:24looking for space finding none does find Ahmed
08:28oh a lovely bursting run into the area and a brilliant sprawling tackle
08:34coming in I think from Wamed Amari and then the foul over by the corner
08:40Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh, Mamesh
08:46brilliant sprawling tackle coming in I think from Wamed Amari
08:52and then the foul over by the corner flag as well and
08:57ball whipped into the back post Ben Ramdhani
09:01wanted a piece of it the shot coming in deflected hacked away
09:06from the toes of Mesri and a high foot there and that'll be a foul on the edge of the area
09:16but hold the phone it's not over yet here's Rafia
09:21goes past one tries to play at one two opportunity knocks there and a vital challenge coming in from Amari
09:28there will be a corner
09:33as the ball goes out of play for Eutanasia Throat and that will indeed be that then
09:41well it may have finished as a stalemate but believe me the game was a lot better than that here at the
09:48Felix Safoui Bundy Stadium in Abidjan
09:52Comoros taking a 50th minute lead
