Equatorial Guinea 1 - Tunisia 1

Anything less than a win by Equatorial Guinea would see visitors Tunisia throwing a party in Malabo as Tunisia would win Group B.  Equatorial Guinea drew a penalty with ten minutes to go in the first half that they converted for a 1-0 lead.  The lead would stick through the end of the half.

Tunisia found themselves at the penalty spot in the second period.  They, too, converted their chance, thereby leveling the match at one goal apiece.  Tunisia were able to hold on for a draw in spite of their lackluster performance.  The match ends in a 1-1 draw, which is enough for Tunisia to win Group B and eliminate Equatorial Guinea.  Tunisia become the fourth team on the day to advance into the CAF Third Round.
