The only goal of the match was scored by Haythem Jouini (16'). It was Jouini's second goal in two games since he returned to the national squad.

At day 3 played last Friday in Rades, Tunisia dominated Libya 3-0.

In the other group match, Equatorial Guinea defeated Botswana 3-2 away from home after also winning 2-0 at day 3.

Tunisia will travel to Equatorial Guinea and Libya to Botswana in the next round.

Top two finishers in each group will qualify for the next African Cup of Nations, to be hosted by Cote Côte d'Ivoire after it was postponed to January 2024.
