Reigning Tunisian champions Espérance de Tunis found a second half goal from Algerian star Youcef Belaïli to salvage a point at US Ben Guerdane on Friday. Brazilian playmaker Yan Sasse touched a free kick to Belaïli for a low strike to level the match close to the hour mark.
US Ben Guerdane took the lead in the 10th minute through Houssem Habbassi, who took advantage a mistake from EST right back Raed Bouchniba to finish low past goalkeeper Amanallah Memmiche. USBG gained early momentum but could not find a second goal which allowed EST to find their way back into the match.
A free kick awarded at the edge of the box allowed the Blood and Gold to equalize when Sasse tapped the ball to the side for Belaïli to shoot past the wall of players in front of the goal. EST move into 4th place for now on 16 points from 9 matches, three points behind league leaders ES Zarzis. USBG are down in 13th place following the result on Friday.
