CAN 2027 Qualifiers: Draw Against Uganda Puts Pressure on Tounekti in Tunisia

Tunisia had taken the lead before Rogers Mato equalized for Uganda. The score remained unchanged, leaving the Carthage Eagles with two points dropped at home.

Criticism has particularly focused on Tounekti’s decision-making in the final third and his perceived lack of influence. After the match, the player noted that the team has been working with a new head coach for a short time and that they are still building their understanding on the pitch.

Uganda thus ends an unfavorable streak against Tunisia, while Tounekti heads into the second matchday with his name at the center of discussions.
