Zambia 1-2 Tunisia: Captain Chikhaoui scores late winner

Thegoalmac can reveal that Zambia were made to pay for poor finishing as Yassine Chikhaoui's 89th-minute winner gave Tunisia a turnaround 2-1 victory.

Honour Janza's side were good value for their lead after Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka broke the deadlock on the hour in Thursday's Africa Cup of Nations Group B clash.


But Mayuka and his attacking foil Rainford Kalaba could not add the crucial second, and Zambia were punished as Tunisia struck twice in the final 20 minutes in Ebebiyin.

Ahmed Akaichi drew them level, before Chikhaoui completed an unlikely comeback with a late header.
The result sees Tunisia take a big step towards reaching the quarter-finals for the first time since they won the competition on home soil in 2004.
