Tunisia suffered a huge blow last week when attacking duo Saber Khalifa and Fakhreddine Ben Youssef were forced to withdraw from the competition at the fifa 15 coins last minute due to injury. Ahmed Akaichi was one of their replacements and the Esperance man saw his header superbly kept out by Vozinha from Tunisia's best opening of the first half.

The Carthage Eagles' success in qualifying was based largely on the strength of their defence, although they were regularly troubled by Cape Verde here. Indeed, they were indebted to Syam Ben Youssef for a clearance off the line to deny Kuca, before Yassine Chikhaoui headed against the bar at the other end from a Moncer free-kick.Ben Youssef netted the rebound only to see his effort disallowed for a foul, but Georges Leekens's side were in front soon after when Moncer converted a ball across goal from Ali Maaloul.

City, who were looking to extend their unbeaten run in the league to 13 matches, fashioned few chances and are now five points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, who they face in two weeks' time.

He said: "I think the penalty changed the game. I don't like fut15coins.co.uk to think it fifa 15 coinswas a penalty, it was not a penalty. It was unnecessary to do it (award the spot-kick) and after that it seemed that the game changed. Before the penalty we have the possession of the ball, we play near their box and they (do not) have any clear chances (from open play) to score during the whole game.
