Tunisia's national soccer team renewed its victory over Mauritania's 2-1. The Carthage Eagles made it 4-2 on aggregate in the second-leg of the 2018 World Cup second-round qualifier played Tuesday in Tunis at Stade Olympique de Radès.

The goals were scored by defender Syam Ben Youssef who gave the hosts the lead (51') before Ahmed Khalil equalized for Mauritania (71'). A Saâd Beguir free kick offered Tunisia victory and secured its progress in Africa's qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup (84').
