Led by new coach Hocine El Orfi, Algeria started the match ideally. A first goal scored in the first half put the Greens on track.
But the Tunisians reacted in the second half. They equalized and the two teams could not be separated. This draw leaves both selections in suspense ahead of the rest of the tournament.
The UNAF tournament is being held in Egypt and offers a ticket to the 2027 U20 Africa Cup of Nations. Algeria and Tunisia will need to win their next matches to hope to qualify.
