AFCON 2017!! Zimbabwe 2-4 Tunisia (RESULT) Tunisia secured their place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals as Group B runners-up with an easy win over bottom team Zimbabwe. Naim Sliti’s deflected shot put Tunisia ahead before Youssef Msakni and Taha Khenissi extended the lead. Knowledge Musona grabbed one back but a Wahbi Khazri penalty restored Tunisia’s three-goal cushion by the break. Tendai Ndoro prodded in a Zimbabwe counter, before Khenissi hit the post in a wasteful second half. The 2004 champions go on to play Burkina Faso in Gabon’s capital Libreville on Saturday.

AFCON 2017!! Algeria Knocked Out Of The Competition Without A Win!! Algeria crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations at the group stage after failing to win a single game in Gabon. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Group B winners Senegal in a match they had to win to have any chance of avoiding an embarrassing early exit. Islam Slimani scored both their goals, a two-yard volley and a scuffed effort that wrong-footed Algeria’s goalkeeper. But Senegal twice equalised, Papakouly Diop and then Moussa Sow both firing in efforts from the edge of the area. Algeria went into the tournament as one of the favourites for the trophy but leave with their reputation damaged by three underwhelming performances. After being held to a shock draw by Zimbabwe in their opener and then beaten by neighbours Tunisia, who booked their quarter-finals with a 4-2 win over Zimbabwe on Monday, Algeria have had a tournament to forget. Their misery was compounded at the last by the fact they were held by Sene...
