FULL-TIME: BURKINA FASO 1-0 TUNISIA
The Stallions have done it! They are through and survive despite having to play the last part of the game with one man less.
The referee blows the whistle thirty seconds early, but the Burkinabe bench will not care!

RED CARD FOR BURKINA FASO
Dango catches Maaloul with a flailing arm, but it does not look like there is much intent. Maaloul makes a meal of it, and rolls around on the floor.
The referee is told by the VAR to view the incident again on the pitchside monitor.
He changes his decision from a yellow to a red card!

VAR PENALTY CHECK
Khazri wriggles his way into the box, but the ball is taken off him with a good challenge by Soumailia Ouattara. However, he catches Khazri badly with the followthrough from the tackle.
The referee is told to view the incident at the pitchside monitor but opts against giving the spot-kick to Tunisia. Correct call!

LOST AT THE FINAL MOMENT
Konate having an impact moments after coming on. He leads a Burkina Faso breakaway down the left, before trying to play in Dango Ouattara, but he cannot sort his feet out and the ball is nicked off his toes by Ifa in the nick of time.

SAVE!
Big save from Koffi to deny Maaloul's driven free-kick! The half-time substitute for Tunisia hits a curling effort low towards the bottom right.
The Burkinabe goalkeeper tips the ball past his near post to concede the corner. Nothing comes of it.

YELLOW CARD
Tapsoba is booked for an accidental looking challenge on Jaziri. A tad harsh.
The two then square-up immidiately afterwards but lucklily, no repercussions.

GREAT DEFENDING!
Djibril causes problems again on the left, and arrows in a whipped cross into the penalty area for Dango Ouattara, but Ifa makes a crucial sliding block!

ALL TUNISIA!
The Eagles of Carthage are piling on the pressure in this second half!
Despite the best chance falling to Burkina Faso, Tunisia have looked very threatening.
62'
ALMOST!
A corner is once again taken short from the right by Tunisia. The ball lands at the feet of Khazri at the edge of the box, but he scuffs his shot and it goes out for another corner.
The second delivery causes a bit of pinball in the box, but Burkina Faso eventually clear.

INJURY
Kabore is stretchered off - let's see if he can eventually continue.

POOR CONTACT!
Sliti once again making an impact!
He drills a low ball from the left across the face of the box, with Khazri his target. He may have been a touch offside in the build-up but was not initially flagged.
Khazri tries to hit it first-time by opening his body at the edge of the six-yard box but his contact is very poor and he slices it well wide of the goal.
