Tunisia kicked off their AFCON campaign with a sensational defeat.
Namibia delivered the greatest shock so far in an Africa Cup of Nations full of surprises in the Ivory Coast, defeating former champions Tunisia 1-0 in the first round.
After the defeat, Tunisia head coach Jalel Kadri said to the media:
“Argentina lost its first match against Saudi Arabia in the World Cup and became World champions at the end.”
On the other hand, Mali triumphed over South Africa after scoring two goals in six minutes, taking the lead in Group E.
However, to say that Mali controlled the match would be wrong. South Africa had more ball possession, and had opportunities score.
