Dos Santos Shines for Tunisia

If you have watched any of Tunisia’s first two African Nations Cup matches, you can’t help but notice the outstanding play of striker Francileudo dos Santos. After starting out with a hattrick against Zambia, Dos Santos added another goal yesterday against South Africa.

Scoring in international matches is becoming a regular occurance for the 26-year-old who plays for Toulouse in France. In 23 matches played for Tunisia, he has racked up 17 goals.

Dos Santos was born in Brazil and was only naturalized a Tunisian citizen before the start of the last CAN. Smart move by the Carthage Eagles who are aiming to repeat as tournament champions.

For teams in Group H, Dos Santos breakout play should serve as a warning of things to come in the Germany this summer.
