This was the moment Celtic winger Sebastian Tounekti clashed with the Botswana bench during an AFCON quaifier.

Tunisia took on Botswana on Monday, with the score finishing 2-2. Hazem Mastouri's double had Tounekti's side 2-1 up after falling behind early on, but Lebogang Ditsele equalised.

The Celtic star came on with seven minutes to go to try to provide the spark to put his side in front again.

But instead he got involved with the opposition's coaching staff as they clock ticked into stoppage time.

As Tounekti tried to retrieve the ball to take a throw-in and get play started quickly, one member of the Botswana bench held on to it and palmed him off.

Tounekti didn't take that lightly and tried to wrestle the ball back before others came in and pushed him away. It sparked a shoving match between both benches and sets of players.

The draw makes it two points from two for Tunisia as they sit third in Group H of AFCON qualifying, behind Uganda and Botswana.
