Tunisia’s national football team defeated Zambia 2-0 on Tuesday in the second group of the African qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The goals of the Tunisian national team were scored by Wahbi Khazri and Anis Slimane.

Striker Wahbi Khazri kicked off the first goal with a penalty kick, after a hand error from Benedict Chebichi.

The Chipolopolo players pressed for a tie but missed several opportunities. Tunisia’s defense and goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha shone during the match, as evident by Dixon Shaba’s shot in the 31st minute, as well as Soloma Pamela’s header in the 42nd minute.

In the second half of the match, the Tunisian team continued to dominate the game, when Anis Slimane added the second goal after he followed a strong rebound from the goalkeeper into the net after a first shot from Esperance player Mohamed Ali Ben Ramadan in the 93rd minute of overtime.

This is the second victory for the Carthage Eagles after defeating Guinea in the first round with three goals to raise its score to 6 points, while the Zambian team suffered its first loss after beating Mauritania 2-1 in the previous round.
