The Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Tunisia and Madagascar lived up to all its promises in terms of suspense. In a hard-fought encounter at Stadium 0, the Carthage Eagles snatched victory in the dying moments of the match thanks to a goal scored in the 90+8th minute. Facing a well-organized and tenacious Malagasy team, the Tunisians struggled to find a breakthrough. Despite dominating possession (possession stats absent in JSON, adapt if available), clear-cut chances were few and far between for both sides. The goalless scoreline at half-time reflected the difficulty both teams had in creating opportunities.
The turning point of the match came in stoppage time. Just as it looked like the match was heading for a draw, Tunisia won a free-kick (or other action, adapt according to the context of the goal). From a cross (or other action, adapt), the ball was turned into the net by a Tunisian player (player’s name if available) who sent the whole nation into raptures! The joy of the Tunisian players and fans contrasted with the disappointment of the Barea, who had put in a respectable performance. This victory allows Tunisia to take the lead in the group (check standings) and move a step closer to qualifying for the AFCON. Madagascar, despite this defeat, showed some good things and can still hope to qualify.
