    Change for Tunisia. Ferjani Sassi is on for Mohamed Drager. Change in formation?

  2. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    Tunisia have attempted 17 shots at this World Cup so far, but have only hit the target with one of those.

    Will they be more ruthless in the second half? Back under way.

  3. Watch: Outstanding blockpublished at 11:05 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    HT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    It's been a frustrating 45 for Tunisia. They have not tested the keeper, who has been well protected by his defenders.

    HT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    The Australia fans looked in great spirits before the game and no doubt they will have been buoyed further by their side's impressive first-half showing.

  5. 'Quick way of thinking'published at 11:01 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    Ian Rush
    Former Wales and Liverpool forward on BBC One

    It’s Mitchell Duke's quick way of thinking - that’s why he scored that goal.

    He’s on his front foot and knows he can only use the side of his head to score.

    That first half was really entertaining. It was physical from the first whistle.

  7. Tunisia boxed inpublished at 11:00 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    HT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    A lot of that first half has been played in the Tunisia half and that is shown by the average position of each player.

    Australia are the purple circles and have six players in the Tunisia half on average. They are particularly keen to get Mathew Leckie (seven) close to Mitchell Duke (15).

    Their full-backs (five and 16) are also pushing forward and leaving the two centre-backs to deal with Issam Jebali (black, nine) who is the furthest forward Tunisia player.

  9. 'Fantastic - but not pretty'published at 10:56 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    HT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    Mark Schwarzer
    Former Australia keeper on BBC One

    Fantastic. Australia have done everything they said they wanted to do and took the game to Tunisia from the off.

    I never said it was going to be pretty, it's a battle but the plan was to be on the front foot.

  10. 'Absolutely tremendous'published at 10:55 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    Danny Murphy
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    Australia have been absolutely tremendous. The work-rate, the quality. That man Mitchell Duke has epitomised everything that has been good for them.

  11. Tunisia creating chancespublished at 10:54 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    HT: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    That late Youssef Msakni chance represented the best chance of the first half according to Opta's Expected Goals tool.

    Tunisia have actually created the best two chances (shown by the bigger black circles) and their xG score is 0.35 compared to Australia's 0.31.

    They trail at the break though.

    Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    Australia have defended well and made some important blocks when under pressure. They comfortably deal with Tunisia's latest corner.

    Corner to Tunisia right at the end of the half.

  15. 'Everything Arnold could have wanted'published at 10:49 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2022

    Danny Murphy
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    Graham Arnold couldn't have asked for any more of his Australia team. They've been well organised, they've been a threat. Everything he could have wanted, they've given him and now they have a lead to hang onto as well.

  16. Postpublished at 45 + 3 mins

    Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    Huge chance for Tunisia but Youssef Msakni puts it wide from close range. The experienced Tunisia captain cannot believe it.

    It should be 1-1.

  17. Waywardpublished at 45 + 2 mins

    Tunisia 0-1 Australia

    The passing accuracy of the full-backs has been lacking in this game.

    Tunisia left-back Ali Abdi (top image) has completed six of his first 13 passes, misplacing seven.

    While Australia right-back Fran Karacic (bottom image) has only completed five of his 11.

    Wayward.

    Karen Bardsley

    Tunisia are just looking for those statistical balls going forward, particularly in the channels.

    Once they do get the support up there, they have incredibly talented technicians.

    One Tunisia fan wearing a very extravegant, feathered helmet-hat, has just stood up and shouted something near the media box. He looked frustrated...
