Algeria and Tunisia have both completed the AFCON 2019 semifinal after seeing of Ivory Coast and Madagascar respectively.

The Algerians had drawn the first blood in the clash before the Ivorians leveled. Bounedjah missed a vital chance to seal the win earlier, after a controversial penalty was awarded by the referee, but he blasted the spot kick against the cross bar.
Meanwhile, The Tunisians had a comfortable ride over first timer, Madagascar as they thrashed them 3-nil to set up a semi-final tie with the Terranga lions of Senegal.
