Tunisia boosted their chances of reaching the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over neighbours Algeria.

They took the lead when Algeria’s Aissa Mandi directed Youssef Msakni’s right-wing cross into his own net.

Algeria pulled a goal back when Sofiane Hanni struck from the edge of the area.
