Either side of Omedi’s consolation, the Cranes – now losers in all seven editions of this fixture by an aggregate score of 19-2 – had Magoola to thank for tipping Mejbri’s long-range strike and Dylan Bronn’s header behind.<\/p>\n
Uganda winger Rogers Mato has built a reputation for spectacular international goals and been prolific for Vardar in the North Macedonian league, but the 22-year-old found his chances limited in this match, firing wide from distance and finding Bronn in the way with an impressive intervention to head a curling shot behind.<\/p>\n
Head coach Paul Put also gave 17-year-old James Bogere his debut after Tunisia’s third goal, rewarding the forward for his displays at this year’s Under-17 World Cup as he became the youngest player to feature in this year’s group stage so far.<\/p>\n
While Belgian Put is yet to win an opening game at Afcon in four attempts with three nations, counterpart Trabelsi will hope this performance provides evidence he has a squad capable of repeating his run to the final with Tunisia as a player in 1996.<\/p>\n
Trabelsi, who has sealed World Cup qualification since returning to the dugout in February, previously took his country to the 2012 Afcon quarter-finals during his first spell in charge.<\/p>\n
With the likes of Achouri, Skhiri and Mejbri at their best, another knockout stage appearance is now within Tunisia’s reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Either side of Omedi’s consolation, the Cranes – now losers in all seven editions of this fixture by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-364814","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
