Welcome to Truth Live News football commentary for Tunisia vs Australia Group D Round two 2022 World Cup match in Qatar at the Al Janoub Stadium.
Tunisia who had played draw with Denmark in the first round would be facing Australia who were demolished by the French national team in the first round.
The first half is underway!
The first 20 minutes were dominated by Australia but there’s still no breakthrough yet for the Australian side yet as Tunisia keep the pressure contained.
23′ GOAAAAAAAL FOR AUSTRALIA! Mitchell Duke from Australia steers a header into the back of the net! Goodwin’s deflected cross from the far side finds Duke in the box and heads into the far corner! Ecstasy among the Socceroos players!
45+6′ The only goal scored by Australia gives them the slight advantage as we are heading into halftime.
HT: Tunisia 0-1 Argentina! Half-time in Qatar and Australia have been the better team. Duke’s 23rd minute header after a Tunisia player was tripped by the referee in the build up is the difference. The Aussies have been the better side, but Tunisia have had chances through Drager and Msakni since conceding. All to play for still. Back shortly!
The second half is underway!
The match is heading to the 88th minute and Tunisia have been dominating the second half with possession but there is no breakthrough to equalise yet.
After so much effort from Tunisia in the second half, the effort was not enough to grab a point.
The referee has blown the final whistle and Australia wins.
FT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia!! All over in Qatar and Duke’s 23rd minute goal proved to be the difference. The Aussies played very well in the first half and then managed to soak up Tunisian pressure in the second period. Tunisia are now in serious trouble. They probably deserved a draw, but missed chances and came up against a well ordered defence. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
