Tunisia and Cape Verde are currently locked at 0-0 in the African Cup of Nations, as both sides proved to be profligate with their chances at the Nuevo Estadio de Ebebiyin in Group B.

Cape Verde got the game off to a flyer as they hit the post within three minutes, as a mix-up in the box saw the ball fly out of Tunisia goalkeeper Emel Mathlouthi's reach before crashing against the woodwork.

Back came Tunisia, though, and they almost found the lead when Ahmed Akaichi was picked out inside the box, only for Vozinha to get down low and keep the ball out at the bottom corner.

Verde were the next to be wasteful when Djanini was found in the box with time and space, although the best that he could muster was a tame effort that was easily gathered by Mathlouthi.

Cape boss Rui Aguas was furious with the referee just before the break when Heldon was fouled in a dangerous position, but replays showed that the official made the correct call only to award a free kick.
