Tunisia 0-0 Angola:  Tunisia sealed top spot in Group B tonight after a goalless draw with Angola who also qualify for the quarter-finals of the African Nations Cup.

The stalemate rendered today's other match between South Africa and Senegal meaningless, as both needed to win and hope for a decisive result in Tamale to have any chance of progressing.

It means that the Tunisians will face Cameroon in the last eight, while Angola, who are through to the quarters for the first time ever, will now play reigning champions Egypt.
