End of match

94'

FT: B Faso (10) 1-0 Tunisia!! It's all over in Garoua and the ref blows 20 seconds early!!! B Faso were the better team and scored through Dango right on HT, but there was controversy as Tunisia were denied a clear penalty with 15 minutes left after Khazri was caught by S Ouattara after he cleared the ball. The VAR called the ref over, but he oddly stuck to his call. Dango later saw red for an elbow. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
93'

Tunisia put a ball into the area and Koffi catches it. The no pen call will be talked about the next couple of days.

B Faso take a corner short, but it comes to nothing.

82'

It's a red for Dango!!! It's been upgraded to a red and the ref loses his yellow while trying to take it away! Khazri has to give it to him. i think that's the right decision.

81'

Dango is booked for an arm in the face of Maaloul. The VAR is talking to him again, but I think a yellow is sufficient, in my opinion.

C. Bayala

Striker

80'

B Faso get a yellow card for timewasting. Bayala it is.

79'

No penalty says the referee! I'm surprised that wasn't given as a penalty. It could have even been a red (or at least a yellow) given the scissors motion. I think he's lucky.
78'

I think this is likely to be a penalty and a card.
76'

S Ouattara slides in and clears the ball, but then collides Khazri and that's very nasty. At least the Tunisian is back up and the ref is going to the screen!
75'

B Faso put a cross into the box, it's half cleared and then the long range strike is blocked.

Tunisia have a bit of ball, but without an end product.
36'
