Fast start helps Tunisia thump Mauritania 4-0 at Cup of Nations

Limbe, Cameroon, January 17 (BNA): Hamza Mathlouthi and Wahbi Khazri scored two goals in the first nine minutes to secure a comfortable 4-0 victory for Tunisia over Mauritania in the African Nations Cup Group F match at Limbe Stadium on Thursday. Sunday.

Khazri added again in the second half and then set Seif El Din Jaziri’s fourth goal, as Tunisia improved dramatically after losing the opening match against Mali in a controversial way when Zambian referee Jani Sikazwe made a mistake twice by ending the match 90 minutes ago.

The Tunisian team, who missed a late penalty kick from Youssef Msakni, has three points from the first two matches and is third in the group behind Gambia and Mali, who both have four points. Mauritania will occupy the last place after two defeats.

Tunisia now faces surprise group Gambia in their last match on Thursday, while Mali faces Mauritania. The top two teams in each group advance to the second round, along with the four best third-place finishers across the six groups.
