When a game finally breaks out in the second half – and you can only assume it will, if Tunisia are smart and sensible – Trabelsi’s men ought to make their one-man advantage count. They showed in first half flashes some of the quality they possess, but have been disrupted by an uber-physical Mali side. A bedraggled-looking Saintfiet, the Mali manager, has been ranting and raving on the touchline. That red card will not have pleased him, but he won’t mind the current scoreline, nor his players’ commitment levels.
