Two quick goals from winger Felix Katongo set Zambia on their way to a surprise 2-1 away win over Tunisia in an African Nations Cup warm-up at Rades.

Katongo netted twice inside the opening 10 minutes, the first coming with a deflection off defender Wissem Abdi and the second two minutes later from a shot on the edge of the penalty area.

Swiss-based striker Yassine Chikhaoui hit the goalframe for Tunisia midway through the first-half and then reduced the deficit two minutes after the break.

Tunisia have a final warm-up match against Iran in Tunis on January 16 while Zambia travel to Morocco for a match on Saturday.

At the Nations Cup, Zambia compete in Group C and Tunisia in Group D. The tournament in Ghana starts on January 20.
