On July 8, 2019, Tunisia secured a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals by defeating Ghana in a penalty shootout.

Goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha came on to save Caleb Ekuban's penalty, securing the win for Tunisia.

The match had been a closely contested one, with Ghana dominating the opening stages and having a first-half goal disallowed due to a Partey handball.

Tunisia had led in the 90 minutes, but a substitute's own goal in injury time sent the match into extra time and eventually a penalty shootout.

They will now face Madagascar, ranked 108th in the world, on Thursday, despite not having won a game in 90 minutes.
