Last night, at the Hamadi Agrebi stadium in Radès, Tunisia beat Malawi 2-0 on the 6th day of African qualifications for the 2026 World Cup.
The meeting was long indecisive before Seifeddine Jaziri opened the scoring in the 87 ‘. A few moments later, Elias Achouri transformed a penalty at 90 ‘, thus offering a decisive advantage to the Carthage Eagles.
