Summary Yasine Chikhaoui scored a late goal to give Tunisia win over Zambia at the African Cup of Nations

EBEBIYIN, Equatorial Guinea: (AP) - Yasine Chikhaoui scored a late goal to give Tunisia a 2-1 win over Zambia at the African Cup of Nations on Thursday.

Chikhaoui headed in a cross from Youssef Msakni in the 89th minute to give the Tunisians four points in Group B. Zambia, which has not won a match at the tournament since winning the title in 2012, has one point.

Emmanuel Mayuka gave Zambia the lead in the 59th, smashing in a cross from captain Rainford Kalaba. But Ahmed Akaichi equalized with a header in the 70th following a flicked-on corner.

Tunisia s first goal came as Zambia was playing with 10 men because of an injury to Mayuka.
