The hosts got off to a flying start and were close to finding the net in the fourth minute, however, Wajdi Kechrida’s goal-bound effort was cleared by Siaka Bagayoko.
Tunisia went close again in the 16th minute, but Bagayoko was at alert to stop Kechrida – who was only a shot away from finding the net.
For the Malians, they were short of chances as Mondher Kebaier’s men restricted them to shooting from outside the goal area.
They were reduced to ten men in the 32nd minute after Toure was sent off by referee Ibrahim Noureddine for a second caution.
