South Africa successfully advances to the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, while Tunisia’s Eagles of Carthage are eliminated, after a goalless draw between the two teams.

In a disappointing turn of events, Tunisia’s hopes of progressing in the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2024 were dashed as they were eliminated from the competition. The match against South Africa proved to be their downfall, as they were unable to secure a victory and were held to a goalless draw.

Throughout the game, both teams fought fiercely for control of the ball, resulting in a number of intense moments on the field. South Africa’s defender Mothobi Mvala and Tunisia’s forward Seifeddine Jaziri found themselves falling to the ground as they battled for possession.

Tunisia’s chances of advancing in the tournament were slim, as they needed a win against South Africa to secure a spot in the last 16. However, their efforts fell short as they struggled to create clear opportunities to score. It was not until the dying moments of the match that Tunisia had a glimmer of hope, when substitute Haythem Jouini had a chance to head the ball into the net from six yards out. Unfortunately for Tunisia, Jouini’s header sailed over the crossbar, leaving them empty-handed.

The draw against South Africa was not enough to keep Tunisia in the competition, as they were ultimately eliminated. With Namibia and Mali also ending their match in a goalless draw, South Africa managed to secure second place in Group E. As a result, they will now face the winner of Group F, potentially Morocco, in their upcoming match on Tuesday.

It is a disappointing end for Tunisia, who had hoped to make a strong showing in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, they can take pride in their efforts and look towards the future with determination to come back stronger in the next edition of the tournament.
