22:25 – The summary of the match
It took 90 minutes to vibrate in this Gambia – Tunisia. The match was dull, tasteless. While the two teams knew they were qualified before the kick-off of this last match of group F, they often thwarted, were clumsy. The Carthage Eagles dominated but were absolutely ineffective. The Gambia had decided to play low and to suffer the onslaught of the men of Mondher Kebaier who had to do without 12 players affected by the covid for this match. The set pieces were particularly badly taken except for the one obtained by the Scorpions 15 minutes from the end of the match. Musa Barrow’s free kick hit Ben Saïd’s bar, which had been particularly quiet since the start of the match. It was finally Jallow who definitively punished the Tunisians for their lack of skill. Entering the break, the striker from Seraing in Belgium, performs a superb control-volley sequence which finds the top corner of Ben Saïd. This goal does not change the game for the men of Mondher Kebaier who absolutely had to win to avoid facing Nigeria in the round of 16. As for the Gambia of Belgian coach Tom Saintfiet, it will face Guinea to continue writing its history.
