Afcon 2019: This match was not what we expected - Giresse

Tunisia coach Alain Giresse was dissatisfied with his side's 1-1 draw in their Group E opener against Angola at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.

The Carthage Eagles won all their preparatory matches in the build-up to the tournament in Egypt, but in their opening game on Monday they were far from convincing, and their coach admitted as much.

“The result reflects our performance. This match was not what we expected,” Giresse told the media in Egpyt after watching his team begin their Afcon campaign on a shaky note.
