The North African outfit appeal for a second penalty in the 71st minute but the referee Bamlak Tessema Weyesa ignored it because Tunisia striker goes down so easily in the box area.
However, Srdjan Vasiljevic’s team pushing for an equaliser as Tunisia looking to keep a second clean sheet from their last 17 Africa Cup of Nations but Djalma denied them that after Goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha made an error in pushing Mateus’ shot back into the danger zone allow Alanyaspor striker tap back into the net 13th minutes from time.
