00:0030 years in their case before coming back in 2021 so the team's coming out for this group b
00:09encounter between the two sides that lost their opening games in group b chinesia on the right
00:15of your screen in so we are underway chinesia kicking off soft against kenya in a game both
00:25these sides realistically must win to keep their dreams and it comes and straight into the arms of
00:35thomas zwaagi
00:45dubal and an opening here for tunisia and that's an outstanding save for the man who's drafted into
00:50the side today for kenya white clifford odua snapshot coming in from tunisia as it broke to them
00:59and he had to get down low the kenyan keeper jostling is going to be a feature of this
01:05game free header at the back stick but he couldn't take it alala javan
01:13they scored two goals in their opener can they maintain
01:16what is really impressive scoring forms decent striker golden tipped around
01:22and tipped over by zwagi excellent strike from kevin wangaya and he was one of the men who really did
01:28deliver for the kenya's in qualifying scored four times around from the other side what can they do
01:35here and it was free again and once again they just couldn't get a proper connection on it that was
01:41so both keepers called into action in this opening period of the game well zwaagi have more work to do
01:52here he does but it's uh routine stuff only won one game in each of those tournaments tunisia but still
02:01managed to make it as far as they did into the middle it goes from kenya
02:15a yari with the delivery and it's gone through everybody and it was missed by alala
02:21union of north african football that is nine titles
02:25a chance for well we've not seen too much of hassan beja
02:34he's managed to keep it in to the byline he goes and kenya opened the scoring
02:38and lawrence umma who was injured just moments ago has his second goal of the tournament but more
02:44importantly he has given kenya the lead against tunisia in a must win game for the east africans
02:52and that was all down to the tenacity of hassan beja down the left-hand flank
03:02and the big man
03:07a bit of space now on the right-hand side
03:10for abrugi first time cross from him as well dandani left it
03:15is sawi
03:19forced much wider than he had once
03:23there is a chance for tunisia they just simply couldn't get enough on it
03:32being the easiest of games for the medical teams that swung in and that's difficult for
03:37odouar and he's just about managed to deal with it well the chinesians claiming it went over the line
03:46well that was asking serious questions of why clifford odouar
03:52drifting inside and he got a touch on it against the post
03:56just a difficult effort
04:05and i don't see personally how that's even close to crossing the line it's the handball that they're
04:10claiming for that's what it is
04:11scoring MILA by Ochen
04:16he was trying to pop that into the court he was doing pretty well
04:20at least
04:21Well, Oshieng certainly wasn't.
04:22Larez-Busnina with Nice in France.
04:26VAR is being consulted.
04:39At the end of what has been a very long opening period.
04:42And it looks as if he is pointing to the spot.
04:45And indeed, he is.
04:48Must be one of the latest goals ever scored at this tournament.
04:51If it were to go in.
04:53Busnina steps up, makes no mistake.
04:56Tunisia at level.
04:59Kenya punished for the handball by Baron Oshieng.
05:05And he was denied by Oduar early on in the game.
05:08But on this occasion, he beat the Kenyan goalkeeper.
05:12And it is Tunisia 1, Kenya 1.
05:15As we see in the half-time team talk, it's going to be a little easier for their coaching crew now.
05:27As the half-time whistle blows as well.
05:29That's the last action of the first half.
05:31Kenya can count themselves and consider themselves unlucky, having largely other ideas.
05:37Perez and Busnina making no mistake from the spot.
05:48For what must be the latest goal.
05:51Africans in their first game against such opposition.
05:55This is their second.
05:56Oshieng with the delivery.
05:58With the delivery.
06:00It's a better ball in this time and a good header as well.
06:03And cleared away from the line by Tunisia.
06:07Much better delivery from Kenya.
06:10And still they are coming forward.
06:12But the foul has been spotted.
06:16And the moment has gone for the rising stars.
06:22Brugge on the floor.
06:24Well, much better delivery this time around.
06:26But all the teams here desperate to make it to the World Cup given this doubles up as qualifying.
06:35Dendani, forward for Tunisia.
06:37Uduwa gathers at the second attempt.
06:40A bit of pressing as well.
06:42And Kibet is leading a Kenyan attack.
06:44Four on two.
06:46Can the rising stars make this count?
06:48They can't because it just drifted away from Beja.
06:50And now the Tunisians have numbers back.
06:54And they blocked.
06:56Zouaghi.
06:58But a clear sign of intent.
07:02From Beja.
07:03Tunisia in behind here.
07:06And if they can sort it out.
07:07Bosnina might have another chance.
07:10Instead it's just turned behind for a corner.
07:14The swinger is deep.
07:15And that's a good header as well.
07:17And just over the post.
07:19Well, he got up really well.
07:20The substitute.
07:21He's just come on.
07:23Omar Ben Ali.
07:25Good delivery.
07:26And he could have got over that as well instead.
07:29It bounced off the top of his head really.
07:33If anything, he got two over.
07:35Taking it early and on the floor instead of putting it into the area.
07:41Dendani, this is a good run from him to the byline.
07:43He goes.
07:44And Tunisia can't miss.
07:46And Tunisia, who are trailing for much of the game,
07:51have finally scored to go ahead.
07:54After good work down this left-hand side from Dendani.
08:01On hand to Proffitt.
08:03And he couldn't miss from there.
08:07What's happening here?
08:08He's had such a good game, the Kenyan goalkeeper.
08:11But he must have been put off by his skipper coming in.
08:14And they have been patient.
08:18And they have been patient.
08:20And Tunisia now lead just moments after.
08:24Ben Ali powered her header over.
08:29Dendani just kept going.
08:33Put it into the middle.
08:35And it couldn't have fallen any kind.
08:40Confirmation of the Yamakar for Mansoor.
08:42That's going to cause some problems.
08:44And it has indeed.
08:45And it surely has clinched the victory as well.
08:48Well, it was always drifting away from Odor.
08:51And Dendani, their substitute for Tunisia,
08:58has surely sealed a much-needed win for the North Africans.
09:04Well, Odor cannot watch.
09:08You can see from the moment it left Dendani's boot
09:10that it was going very, very close to goal.
09:14And somewhere that was out of reach of the Kenyan goalkeeper.
09:19And, well, there has been little response from the rising stars.
09:25Cordy.
09:27And into the middle.
09:28Again it goes, oh, the acrobatics attempts it.
09:30There's going to be another break in play.
09:39Ben Ali.
09:43Ben Ali.
09:44And against the post as well.
09:55Well, that was an opportunity to get a fourth for Tunisia.
09:58All eyes on the referee, Emmanuel Mensah of Liberia,
10:04who puts his whistle to his lips to signify the end of a game
10:09that Tunisia have won to move joint top of Group B
10:15with Nigeria and Morocco.
10:17But for how long, of course, is the question
10:19with those two sides set to meet?
