AFCON 2023: Namibia beat Tunisia 1-0 in Group E opener

Namibia secured a late winner against Tunisia in the opening game of Group E at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The intense encounter held at Stade Amadou Gon Coulibaly was with no luck until the dying minutes when Deon Hotto slotted home, to take all three points for his side.

Tunisia struggled to put up their usual threat against opponents, with minimal chances created.

Namibia, on the other hand entered the game as the underdogs and asserted some level of confidence and hard work which paid off.

The Eagles of Carthage now join Ghana among big African teams to lose their first match in the tournament holding in Ivory Coast.

The second Group E game comes up at 9:00 pm between South Africa’s Bafana Bafana and Mali.
