"Tanzania are seeking a sizeable upset against opponents ranked 71 places above them by FIFA when Miguel Angel Gamondi's side meet Tunisia in their final game in Group C in Rabat on Tuesday. The Taifa Stars need to win to reach the last 16 after losing their opener 2-1 to Nigeria and taking the lead before drawing 1-1 with Uganda."
""We need to try to [be decisive] when we get the ball and attack and create chances," said Gamondi, whose side could have beaten the Cranes but were also relieved when Allan Okello missed a late penalty for their opponents. "These boys need to get more confident... it will be very tough. Tunisia are a big team. Tanzania don't have big experience at the Africa Cup of Nations and, because of that, we've made some mistakes. We'll fight until the last [kick].""
