GAMBIA – TUNISIA. Rough start to the match for the Tunisians who dominate in terms of possession but who fall on a block of Gambians well grouped together.
Gambia
0 : 0
Tunisia
And immediately
21:07 – Adams warns you
Second yellow card of this Gambia – Tunisia. The new Gambian entrant Adams makes a poorly controlled tackle.
21:06 – The free kick for Tunisia
Ben Slimane takes his chance on a free kick but as in the first period, it is without danger for Gayé.
21:05 – Two changes from the Gambia side
It is not the same 22 players who returned to the lawn of Limbé for this second period of this Gambia – Tunisia. Sonha and Mbye are out, replaced by Adams and Jallow.
21:04 – Start of the second period
Fernando Guerrero, referee of this Gambia – Tunisia, returned to the field of Limbé and whistled the start of this second act. The Tunisians ended the first half with a missed penalty from Jaziri.
20:48 – It’s half time
End of the first act of this Gambia – Tunisia. The first 45 minutes were rather disappointing. The Carthage Eagles dominated and even missed a penalty but the Gambians manage to defend their cages with a certain solidity.
20:47 – Matlouthi warned and suspended
Matlouthi’s fault costs him dearly. In addition to taking a yellow card in this Gambia – Tunisia, the Tunisian side will be suspended during the eighth final of Tunisia.
20:45 – Jaziri misses his penalty
After long discussions, Jaziri rushes forward and Gayé intervenes. The Carthage Eagles still miss a penalty in this CAN 2022. It is already the third that the Tunisians have missed in as many games played.
20:43 – Penalty for Tunisia
Jaziri collapses in the penalty area. Modou is at fault on the Tunisian striker. The Carthage Eagles will have the opportunity to open the scoring in this Gambia – Tunisia.
20:42 – Nice attempt by Skhiri
Skhiri takes his 25-meter chance and sees his ball deflected. But Gaye seemed defeated. The following corner gives nothing for the Carthage Eagles.
20:39 – Another missed free kick
The Tunisians waste another opportunity to be dangerous on Gayé’s cages. The free kick is very badly taken and slips out of goal. This Gambia – Tunisia is marked by technical approximations.
20:37 – Abdi stays down after a collision in the penalty area
The big intervention of Sonko-Sundberg on Abdi is supported. And she’s in the penalty area. The referee of the meeting says nothing and the Tunisian side gets up. It was a contentious situation.
20:35 – Great opportunity for Rafia
After a fine tumble from Jaziri on the left side, Rafia infiltrates the penalty area and takes his chance but his ball hits the small outside net of the Gambian goalkeeper. This is the most frank occasion of this Gambia – Tunisia.
20:33 – Completely missed header
After a good cross from Matlouthi, Ben Slimane takes the ball with his head but completely unscrews his attempt. Gayé is still not really worried in this Gambia – Tunisia.
20:29 – Jaziri highly sought after in depth
The Eagles of Carthage are asking Jaziri a lot in depth behind the Gambians in this Gambia – Tunisia. For the moment, the recipe does not work very well because the Tunisian striker is lonely when he receives the ball.
20:26 – The rhythm is choppy
Like this mistake by Rafia, this Gambia – Tunisia is rather choppy. The meeting is struggling to get carried away as we approach half an hour of play.
