RABAT: Tanzania and Tunisia grabbed the last available places in the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday by playing out a 1-1 draw that eliminated Angola. Feisal Salum’s goal for Tanzania, which canceled out Ismaël Gharbi’s penalty, sent the Taifa Stars to the last 16 as one of the six groups’ best third-place finishers. Angola, who finished third in Group B, had been hoping for a favor from Tunisia to beat Tanzania and another from Nigeria, who complied by defeating Uganda 3-1. But Tanzania’s goal proved the difference.
