South Africa faces Tunisia this Wednesday, January 24 on the third and final day of the group stage of CAN 2023. The Carthage Eagles are on the verge of elimination and must win.
South Africa are on track to reach the round of 16 of the CAN 2023. Indeed, Bafana Bafana recovered from their defeat against Mali at the start of the competition (0-2) by correcting Namibia (4-0) during the second day of the group stage. Thanks to this success, the South Africans occupy 2nd place before this last match against Tunisia. A draw would be enough for Hugo Broos’ men to qualify. Even a defeat would perhaps not condemn them depending on the result of Namibia which faces Mali at the same time.
On the other hand, for Tunisia, the mission is very clear. Victory is mandatory to qualify. Jalel Kadri’s men have still not won in this CAN 2023 and conceded a draw against Mali (1-1) after a surprise defeat against Namibia (0-1) at the start of the competition. “After the defeat against Namibia, we played a better match at all levels against Mali and the players approached the match with more rage to win. We played the match to win but we ultimately settled for “only one point (…) We still have one match to play and I hope that victory will come”, declared the coach of the Carthage Eagles.
