Major defensive woes! Tunisia concede in every CAF group stage match for the first time since 2017

The Tunisian national team continues to struggle defensively at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Details: According to StatsFoot, for the first time since the 2017 tournament, Tunisia failed to keep a single clean sheet during the group stage.
In the third round AFCON match against Tanzania, Tunisia took the lead after a successful penalty by Ismaël Gharbi. However, they couldn't hold on—Faisal Salum equalized for the opposition, once again exposing the "Carthage Eagles'" defensive vulnerabilities.
Notably, the last time Tunisia conceded five goals in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations was also back in 2017. This current tournament is a worrying sign for the squad ahead of the knockout rounds.
As of the 70th minute, the score remains level. This result would see Tunisia advance to the knockout stage as group runners-up.
Reminder: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the Gabon national team early and returned to Marseille.
