In the playoff round, the team met with Tunisia, who barely made it out of their group. All statistical layouts indicated that Carthage should be destroyed on Sunday evening. But instead, the rapid flight of the “super eagles” was interrupted. The fate of the match was decided by the only goal scored in the 47th minute by Youssef Msakni.

Tunisia advances to the quarter-finals.
