False start for Zebras

On Saturday night, captain Joel Mogorosi put Zebras in front following a good move featuring experienced midfielder, Mogogi Gabonamong. Mogorosi received a pass from Gabonamong and stunned the home crowd at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet just before half time.
The Zebras absorbed a lot of pressure as Tunisia searched for the equaliser, which finally came from Wahbi Khazri’s stunning free kick in the second half.
With the match looking like it was headed for a 1-1 draw, Tunisia punished Zebras in the dying minutes when Yassine Chikhaoui converted a penalty for a 2-1 victory. Zebras will now shift attention to the Wednesday when they host Senegal in Gaborone as Tunisia visit wounded North African rivals, Egypt in Cairo.
The Egyptians are licking their wounds after the 2-0 battering they got from Senegal on Friday.
