Tunisia coach Alain Giresse has revealed his decision to pull out goalkeeper Mouez Hassen for Ben Mustapha just before the penalty shootout against Ghana in Monday’s Round 16 tie at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) was a 'gamble'.
The French coach had earlier brought on Rami Bedoui in the latter moments of the game against the Black Stars but he was let down as the defender headed into his own net in injury time, with his first touch.
Though goalkeeper Hassen, who started in goal for Tunisia had a decent game, registering good saves; including a late effort by Ghana deep into extra-time, he was pulled out in the 122nd minute.
