Both teams were on equal footing, as goal-scoring opportunities were presented equally for both sides. Taha Khenissi of Tunisia in the 4th minute and Peter Shalulile of Namibia in the 7th minute were the first to surprise the opposing defenses with impressive shots that set the tone for the rest of the first half, which ended 0-0.

The second half of the match was even more intense, as both teams aimed to start AFCON 2023 with a positive result. Tunisia took the initiative, with an incredible corner kick in the 45th minute that they couldn't convert into a goal, thanks to the outstanding performance of Lloyd Kazapua, who was becoming the most crucial player for Namibia.

Later on, Haythem Jouini of Tunisia had the clearest opportunity of the match, finding himself alone in front of the goalkeeper in the box, but a poor shot sent the ball wide in the 54th minute. Namibia, on the other hand, continued to resist Tunisia's constant attacks. Despite their efforts, they couldn't create a clear goal-scoring opportunity, while Lloyd Kazapua remained the most important player for Namibia.

It was in the 88th minute that Deon Hotto capitalized on a spectacular cross from Bethuel Muzeu, sending the ball into the back of the net and securing another surprise in AFCON 2023 with a 1-0 victory against Tunisia. With this result, Namibia achieves its first victory in AFCON, leading Group E with 3 points, while Tunisia complicates its future by sitting in the last position with 0 points.
