Tunisia Advance As Algeria Crash Out Of AFCON
Tunisia cruised into the knockout rounds of the Africa Cup of Nations by thrashing Group B's rock-bottom Zimbabwe 4-2.
Henryk Kasperczak's side had put their destiny into their own hands by beating Algeria last time out and completed the job in emphatic fashion in Libreville.
Naim Sliti's deflected shot put Tunisia into a deserved, if fortuitous, lead before Youssef Msakni and Yassine Khenissi put the game beyond Zimbabwe with well-crafted efforts.
A thrilling first half still had time for a strike back for Zimbabwe through Knowledge Musona before Wahbi Khazri's penalty restored Tunisia's three-goal lead.
Meanwhile the Desert foxes of Algeria could only managed a 2 - all draw with already qualified Senagal to book an early flight home.
