    The 48 fouls in this one makes this the naughtiest game we have seen so far. It trumps the 40 we saw when Equatorial Guinea and Congo drew yesterday.

    Shooting accuracy has not been a strength of teams in this tournament so far...

    Match stats

    Statistically, this one was pretty even, just how it seemed during the 90 minutes.

    This man was impressive tonight, but why is he not getting club action?

    Heldon

    As you were in Group B...

    Group B

    Zambia take on Tunisia next Thursday, when Congo DR will also play Cape Verde.

    A fair result? What do you think? Tweet us on #bbcafcon2015.

    Cape Verde made the better chances early on but Tunisia grew into this one and suddenly built pressure on the hour to eventually force the lead with a beautifully taken goal. The advantage was however short lived and we have a tight Group on our hands.

    It's a good position but a long way out...here comes the kick...Edem Rjaïbi runs over the ball as a dummy and then he is fed...in the area...fluffs it. He didn't take a touch and gets his cross-shot horribly wrong. Goal kick.

    This game is ending with long balls from end to end. Minimal risk from both sides as they commit little but nervy for defenders.

    Free-kick awarded to Tunisia 30 yards out and central. This will be the last act...

    Stephane Nater skips a challenge or two and cuts in from left to right, he lets fly from 30 yards plus and that my son is far from text book. High and wide, it probably threatens a neighbouring country.

    In fairness, it maybe took a bobble as this pitch is nota billiard table. Three minutes added.

    This result would leave Group B completely level. All four teams will have a point and a goal difference of zero.

    It's worth pointing out that if teams are level on points at the end of the group, they are split by their head-to-head record.

    A quick shout out to my colleague Andy Cryer who earlier told us there was no goal coming in this game. I'll join his brave stance of putting it on the line and say I don't think we will get a winner.

    Both these sides look content and the substitutions are now frequent so the game has no flow.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2015

    Will these sides now settle and play out the second 1-1 draw of the day?

    A draw would probably be a fair result. Off comes Kuca for Cape Verde - he missed one or two good chances, on comes Odair Fortes. Go on son, grab the headlines.

    This is on a knife-edge now as we enter the final 10 minutes. What a blow for Tunisia. They were second best, then found their groove and pressured before taking the lead, only for it to be swiped away from them.

  18. GOALpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2015

    Heldon sweeps a super penalty high into the top corner, across his body it nestles in the top-left hand corner.

    The Sporting Lisbon striker wins the kick himself with a rapid burst down the left and he went down under a poorly timed challenge.

    No doubts it's a clinical foul by Syam Ben Youssef but it was right on the edge of the box and even replays don't clear up if it should be a penalty.

  19. Postpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2015

    The man who delivered the pass for the goal - Ali Maaloul - has impressed me. A small but nimble left-back, who looks good going forward. Defensively he, like his team-mates was a bit ropey in the first half but his contribution has been very good.

    So what have you got Cape Verde? A set-piece delivery call on some robust goalkeeping and defending at the back for Tunisia. Will we see more direct play as the equaliser is sought? They will really regret those missed first-half chances.
