Halftime Summary:
Egypt are trying to clinch
the game, but are giving up most of the midfield posession to Zambia, who
for the first time in the tournament, are looking quite organized on the
pitch. They had the better chances of the first half, but the Pharaohs
exploited their weak defence with Mido's well taken goal. Ramzy seems to
be out with a bruised knee, and will probably be subbed out in the second
half. |
1st half:
- Senegal in green, Tunisia
in white
-('1) quick start by Tunisia
and an immediate shot by Zabi
-('3) Tunisias second attempt
but Madhebis cross finds nobody
-Senegal play with some
new players, among them goalkeeper veteran Oumar Diallo, but the numbers
(black upon green) are impossible to read. It might help Senegal to keep
the necessary tension for this match.
-('13) Tunisia try play
a corner outside the penalty area to set up a volley from 20 meters but
it is directly on keeper Diallo who has some problems but saves
-('16) Madhebi falls in
the penalty area but the referee seems to have no doubt: no penalty
-Tunisia might seek free
kicks and penalties as they have been ineffective otherwise yet
-('18) it seems to be more
contact on the other side, but again the whistle remains silent.
-('22) a rare quick attack
by Senegal leads to a corner in what is now rather a midfield affair
-('24) great attack by Tunisia,
two players pass on by
their heel and set Madhebi free 16 meters to the
goal. But he fires across the bar, centimeters too high
-Senegal with very good
defensive work already in midflield where they attack the Tunisians with
their midfield chain already in their own half
Tunisia still with a
careful build up and formation
-('34) Madhebi is the most
dangerous man on the field. he breaks through again on the left makes a
very good low cross into the back of the defenders (means against their
run back) but Baya all free cannot score, his ball does not get through
a bunch of players between him and the goal
-('43) Mediocre free kick
execution by Sennegal
-The bumpy pitch is to
the disatvantage of the style of the combinating Tunisians
halftime 0:0
A decent performance by
Tunisia but no goal. Senegal with a lot of substitutes very solid but far
away from scoring. Both teams modern and well organised.

2nd half:
- A push in the back of
Madhebi and the referee says penalty
-('47) Diallo saves the
penalty, a low shot by Ben Achour that had been precise but not too sharp
-('50) Tunisia with a very
clever indirect low corner kick, Diallo makes a great save against the
first shot, Zabi hits the goalpost with the second attempt
-Diallo has a great day
on the line but has also shown some weaknesses outside his goal in the
first half
-Tunisia play well and
are unlucky
-('52)('53) Senegal with
a couple of nice attacking attempts but the Tunisian defence well alerted
-('62) Senegal: A fine room
grasping counter attack but only a corner results from it
-('64) a typical scene for
the bumpy pitches: Senegals #8 A. Touré fires with full power but
a bounce on the pitch has just lifted the ball so that it goes high into
the clouds
-('65) He gets replaced
by El Hadj Diouf
-('67) El Hadj Diouf with
a first run electrifies the crowd
-Question: Are Senegal
in a better physical shape than their opponents? In all three matches they
seemed to have gained momentum in the course of the second half. Tunisia
might as well be informed about the Egyptian lead and demotivated.
-('70) Senegal: Tunisian
defender Jaidi rescues on the line for his keeper as Camara has already
got behind El Ouaer and fires on the empty goal
-('72) Senegal: Diouf free
kick deflected for a corner
-('74) Senegal: another
miserable set play execution as a free kick is fired into a two men wall
(!) from good position
-Because of the number
of goals in the other match, Tunisia will need now to win by 2 goals, even
if Zambia equalises or wins
-('90) the match has lost
quality and Baya gets yellow for a last desperate diving attempt
final score 0:0
Senegal have qualified as
group leaders. Tunisia will head home without a goal scored.
