Tunisia already has its head in the bag during this African Cup of Nations. While Mali and South Africa will face each other this Tuesday evening within this Group E, the Carthage Eagles took a real blow to the head by losing to Namibia (0 -1). A defeat conceded at the very end of the match with a point-blank header from Hotto in the 87th minute of play. Note that this is the first success for Namibia in its history during a final phase of the CAN.
And they clearly didn’t steal it! The Brave Warriors lived up to their name today, courageous, they were very solid, and their defense repelled all the opportunities of the Tunisians when it came to the ground game. From a standstill, or when the ball was in the air, the white and red attackers almost systematically took the upper hand. But if the defenders had been flown over by the Eagles, then Kazapua would spread his wings to stop the opposing attempts. Impeccable, the Namibian goalkeeper distinguished himself on several occasions, and it must be said that the Maghreb offensive players gave him a great boost. Msakni, Achouri and Jouini were narrow in the last move and missed the few shots on target that they were able to get. And what was supposed to happen happened, in the 88th minute of play, Muzeu did a fantastic job of conservation, before sending a caviar cross to the far post for Hotto, who just had to put the ball on target. At the end of his head is a historic victory, which the Namibian people are unlikely to forget.
