Former champions Zambia are in danger of being knocked out of the 2015 African Nations Cup tournament after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Tunisia.
In a game that Tunisia were second best, it was surprising how the Chipolopolos ended up losing the match.
Zambia created numerous opportunities in the first half but lacked the finishing edge as it came back to haunt them.
Although they went in front in the second half through Emmanuel Mayuka who turned in Rainford Kalaba's cross.
But Tunisia took advantage of Zambia's missed chances especially after Mayuka was stretchered off in what looked like a groin injury.
Tunisia got the equaliser through Ahmed Akaichi who found the net in the 70th minute, and they were the ones who finished stronger.
Yasine Chikhaoui headed home a late goal in the 88th minute to seal the victory for his team.
The win put Tunisia top of their group with four points and needing a point in their last game to go through.
Meanwhile both Cape Verde and Congo DR played out one of the most boring games of the tournament so far after settling for a 0-0 draw.
There was less excitement in the game as both teams looked as though they came into the game for a draw.
With the exception of a few flashes from veteran DR Congo goalkeeper, Robert Kidiaba, there was nothing much in the match which was a dour game.
