Tunisia are through to the quarter finals of the African Cup of Nations after they recorded their first ever tournament victory over Ghana, winning a penalty shoot-out 5-4.
Tunisia almost had the game wrapped up in normal time and were 1-0 up with 91 minutes gone, thanks to a 72nd-minute goal by Khenissi.
Ghana were suddenly back in the tie after late Tunisian substitute Badoui headed an own goal past his keeper with his first touch of the game.
Jordan Ayew missed the best chance in extra time and Tunisia, who had not beaten Ghana in seven previous AFCON attempts, progressed as Giresse’s decision to send on Ben Mustapha for the penalties paid off. Tunisia’s substitute keeper Mustapha was the hero, saving Ghana’s third penatly taken by Ekuban, before Bronn, Meriah and Sassi went on to score to give Tunisia a 100-percent record and a place in the quarter-final, where Madagascar await them.
