BLOCKED!
Djibril and Dango Ouattara both combine well on the right, before the latter tries to pull the ball back into the centre from a tight angle, but his cross is blocked.
16'
HALF-CHANCE
Tapsoba strikes the free-kick from 30-yards out, but it goes low and straight into the wall. However, the ricochet falls to Guira in the box but the midfielder snatches at the ball and Ben Said makes a comfortable save for Tunisia.
13'
FREE-KICK
Burkina Faso have a set-piece chance from far out after Laidouni makes a bad challenge.
Meanwhile, Herve Koffi is once again receiving treatment, and that will be a concern.
10'
GOOD BUILD-UP
Great build-up play in two phases by Burkina Faso. Kabore first drops his shoulder and puts a cross in from the right, and it is initially cleared.
They then recycle the ball well, and attack again down the right byline with Outtara, but once again his cross evades everyone and the move comes to nothing.
In the first move, Kabore took a stamp on his leg, and was briefly down by the touchline. He's back up now.
7'
NUMBER CONFUSION?
It turns out Burkina Faso's No.9 is playing at right-back, and their No.2 is playing upfront! Odd indeed...
4'
COLLISION!
Khazri does well on the right, before putting in a looped cross into the box.
Msakni gets the ball, and tries to latch onto it in the area, but the Tunisian attacker collides with Burkinabe goalkeeper Herve Koffi on the stretch.
Both are in pain and there is a stoppage of a couple of minutes.
3'
WIDE!
The corner is taken short. The ball is eventually fed through to Dango Outtara, but his shot from a tight angle loops high and goes out near the corner flag.

BURKINA FASO ENJOYING POSSESSION
Burkina Faso have started the better here. They are awarded a free-kick from the left, but Sangare's delivery is poor. It goes out for a corner though.

EAGLES OF CARTHAGE BUOYED BY NIGERIA SCALP
Mondher Kebaier's Tunisia side also struggled in the group stage, finishing as one of the best third-placed sides.
However, their shock 1-0 win over Nigeria in the round of 16 with a depleted Covid-hit squad will now give them the confidence that they can go all the way.
Key man Wahbi Khazri is also back in the starting XI.

CAN LES ETALONS PROGRESS?
After a penalty shootout win over Gabon in the last 16, Burkina Faso once again come up against tough opposition in Tunisia this evening, who shocked Nigeria last time out to progress themselves.
It has not all been plain sailing for Kamou Malo's men so far this tournament, as they qualified from Group A with just four points from nine available - meaning they progressed into the knockout stage as one of the best third placed sides.
