    Ali Abdi and Thapelo Morena eye the ball during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Group E match between South Africa and Tunisia
    South Africa and Tunisia attempted 11 shots apiece - but each team only registered two efforts on target

    South Africa reached the last 16 at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with a goalless draw against Tunisia which eliminated the 2004 champions.

    Sphephelo Sithole had Bafana Bafana's best chance, forcing Bechir Ben Said into a low save with his shot from outside the box.

    Tunisia failed to create clear openings but Haythem Jouini headed a late opportunity over the bar.

    South Africa held their nerve to see out five minutes of added time.

    A point was enough for Bafana Bafana to clinch second place in Group E as third-placed Namibia drew 0-0 with group leaders Mali - a result which saw both sides progress.

    Hugo Broos' side will face the winners of Group F in the last 16 in San Pedro on Tuesday, and will find out their opponents later on Wednesday.

    More to follow.
