Striker Iso Kanyenda scored with a late penalty as Malawi rallied from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw away to Tunisia in a 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier.

Lens forward Issam Jemaa looked to have steered Tunisia toward a comfortable win with goals in the 11th and 26th minutes to take his international tally to 21 goals in 51 games.

But Orlando Pirates forward Chiukepo Msowoya pulled a goal back in the 45th, and Kanyenda equalized in the 82nd.

Botswana tops Group K with 10 points from four games after winning 2-1 at home to Togo on Saturday.
