Namibia upset Tunisia at AFCON

Namibia winger Deon Hotto scored in the 88th minute to hand them a shock 1-0 victory over Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations yesterday and keep up the sequence of surprise results that have dominated the opening days of the tournament. 

Hotto sneaked in at the back post to hand the southern African country, 87 places below Tunisia in the world rankings, a deserved win as they were markedly more enterprising and created the better chances in the opening Group E encounter at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium.

Namibia, competing in their fourth finals but who had never tasted a Cup of Nations finals victory previously, should have won by a biggest margin but were let down by poor decision making.

Tunisia are the top seeds in the group but laboured through the game. — SuperSport.
