Yasine Chikhaoui scored a late goal to give Tunisia a 2-1 win over Zambia on Thursday at the African Nations Cup in Ebebiyin, Equatorial Guinea.
Chikhaoui headed in a cross from Youssef Msakni in the 89th minute to give the Tunisians four points in Group B. Zambia, who have not won a match at the tournament since winning the title in 2012, have one point.
Emmanuel Mayuka gave Zambia the lead in the 59th, smashing in a cross from captain Rainford Kalaba. But Ahmed Akaichi equalised with a header in the 70th following a flicked-on corner.
Tunisia's first goal came as Zambia were playing with 10 men because of an injury to Mayuka.
The Zambians came close several times in the first half, with Kalaba and Mayuka linking up well. After Mayuka finally scored, he did backflips in celebration.
In the 67th minute, Kalaba again sent a cross for Mayuka, but the Zambia forward was injured as he slid to reach the ball. He was soon taken off the field on a stretcher, and Tunisia equalised before he was replaced by Jackson Mwanza.
DR Congo goalkeeper Robert Kidiaba made three tough saves in the final minutes to preserve a 0-0 draw with Cape Verde.
Kidiaba stopped a header from a corner in the 87th minute and blocked the resulting shot from the rebound. One minute later, he stopped a shot from Cape Verde forward Heldon.
The draw gives both teams two points in Group B. Tunisia, who beat Zambia 2-1 in the early match, lead the group with four points. Zambia have one.
DR Congo will play their final group match against Tunisia on Monday in Bata, while Cape Verde will take on Zambia in Ebebiyin.
