All good things must come to an end. The last 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations has been good. But that will be over after this clash between Ghana and Tunisia. As will the tournament for one of these sides.
The Black Stars are on the hunt for a seventh straight Africa Cup of Nations victory over Tunisia when they clash Monday in the final last-16 match in Egypt.
After the countries drew a 1963 group game, the Black Stars defeated the Carthage Eagles in Tunis to win the 1965 final and begin an amazing six-match, 54-year winning streak.
“Tunisia will fall in Ismailia on Monday,” predicted captain Andre Ayew, one of two sons of Ghana legend Abedi ‘Pele’ Ayew in the Ghana squad.
“Football is not only about tactics, it is also about being united as a team and competing for every ball.
“We have to be smart too and I have no doubt that the boys will deliver against Tunisia and reach the quarter-finals.”
The Ayews have made a significant impact already with Crystal Palace forward Jordan scoring two and Fenerbahce midfielder Andre one of the four goals that won Group F.
Ghana haven’t shied away from being sharing their confidence with the media.
“We have watched them, know how they play and are going to beat them,” promised Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso.
“We are taking this tournament match by match, never looking beyond our next opponents. Our focus in exclusively on defeating Tunisia and reaching the last eight.”
Tunisia have been a major disappointment apart from forward Wahbi Khazri, failing to win a group match and scraping through in second place, four points behind Mali.
