IT'S WASTED! Rejaibi makes a run from among the kick takers into the right side of the box and Maaloul feeds him with a quick pass. The susbtitute fails to get his foot around the ball and put it into the centre, instead shanking wide before the final whistle is sounded!
90' +3
Msakni draws a foul from Fernando Varela and it earns Tunisia a free kick in a central position 25 yards from goal. This will surely be the last chance!
90' +2
It's difficult to see another goal in this one in the closing stages. Neither side is showing any real urgency as they don't want to let a late strike in!
90'
There will be three minutes of time added on!
88'
Time is running out for either of these sides to grab a winner. It's been a fairly even game, but if it stays like this there will be nothing to separate any of the four teams in Group B.
87'
H. Ragued enters the game and replaces J. Saihi.
Another change for the Eagles of Carthage as Saihi, who has impressed in midfield, makes way for Ragued.
86'
Mendes rides a challenge and skips through the centre of the park before laying the ball out wide to Junior Tavares. His delivery is dreadful, though, and flies high over the top for a goal kick.
84'
Odaïr Fortes enters the game and replaces Kuca.
Cape Verde make another change with Odair Fortes taking the place of Kuca.
83'
Khazri, who was like a different player in the second half, is replaced by Msakni for the remainder.
82'
A. Rejaibi enters the game and replaces W. Khazri.
Y. Msakni enters the game and replaces A. Akaïchi.

Description
81'
WHAT A SAVE! Maaloul lifts a free kick into the box from a central position, and Abdennour makes a great run to add a header on the end of it. Vozinha parries it aside but it wouldn't have counted anyway as the offside flag was up.
80'
Tunisia have paid the price for stepping off the gas since going ahead, and now it's going to take another galvanising effort to regain their lead in these late stages.
78'
Penalty goal scored by Héldon for Cabo Verde!
GOOOOOOOAAAL!! CAPE VERDE ARE LEVEL! Heldon takes a slow, stuttered run-up before lashing the ball into the top corner from 12 yards out! There was no stopping that penalty.
76'
PENALTY TO CAPE VERDE! Heldon receives a pass from Stopira and knocks it around the corner before rushing towards the byline to regather it. He beats Ben Youssef to it and the centre-back slides in, taking nothing but the player inside the box! The referee has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
74'
Ryan Mendes enters the game and replaces Carlitos.
Here is that change from the Blue Sharks, and it is a very positive one. Right-back Carlitos is the man to make way for Mendes, who will no doubt join the attackers.
72'
Aymen Mathlouthi stays down after a coming together with Heldon inside the box, and he requires attention from the medical staff. Meanwhile, Cape Verde have Lille forward Ryan Mendes readied on the touchline. They don't want to lose this one!
70'
M. Manser has scored a goal for Tunisia! Assist by A. Maâloul.
GOOOOOOAAL!! Tunisia’s pressure finally reaps rewards. Saihi plays a quality pass down the channel which Maaloul squares across the face of goal for Moncer to fire into the roof of the net at the back post!
68'
Júlio Tavares enters the game and replaces Djaniny.
First change of the night for Cape Verde now, with Djaniny making way for Julio Tavares.
67'
Khazri fires in another free kick from the left that is just narrowly too far ahead of Abdennour for him to get a touch on the ball.
15'
W. Khazri gets yellow.
FULL TIME - Tunisia 1-1 Cape Verde: The Blue Sharks rattled the post early on and had the better of the first half, but Moncer opened the scoring for the Eagles of Carthage in the second half. Cape Verde equalised from the penalty spot through Heldon, and that was how the game ended!
All the teams in Group B are level on one point, with both the day's games ending as 1-1 draws. That is all we have time for this afternoon. Thanks for joining me!
