Nigeria miss Olympic spot
Tunisia's Ali Zitouni
A goal from Ali Zitouni helped Tunisia beat Nigeria
Tunisia have qualified for the Athens Olympics by beating 1996 gold medallists Nigeria 2-0, in Tunis.

Nigeria only needed a draw in their final Group A match to go through but Tunisia ultimately proved too strong for them.

Khaled Mouelhi opened the scoring for Tunisia, from the penalty spot, in injury time of the first half.

Ali Zitouni scored the second goal for the hosts that sealed their place at the Athens Olympics this August.

In the other Group A match Egypt's disastrous campaign continued as they lost 1-0 to Sengal in Port Said.

The loss meant that Egypt finish bottom of the group without a single point from their campaign.

Coach Mohamed Aly has used a largely under 19 team for Egypt's last two matches as he tries to build for the future.
