Match Commentary

90'
A cracking end to the game sees the spoils shared and the Ukraine breathe a sigh of relief. A draw was possibly the fairest result as Tunisia could lay claim to being the better side in the opening period whilst Saudi Arabia shaded it in the second half. The Saudis will be berating themselves for conceding so late on though. Both sides now know that realistically they will have to beat Ukraine to progress to the next stage.

Jaidi has equalised at the death. Some poor defending from the Saudis who don't clear in time allows Jaziri to sneak behind them and hit a ball over to the tall figure of Jaidi who heads home from six yards. Great stuff.
