Don't forget to tune in to the live coverage of the next three FIFA World Cup games of the game on Sportskeeda.
Tunisia unlucky to suffer a narrow defeat and will not only have to defeat France in their final group stage game bu also hope that Denmark defeats Australia.
Australia with the win. The Socceroos put in a solid defensive display to go atop the Group D standings, albeit momentarily. Tunisia will have to defeat France in their final group-stage game to have any hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time in history. Australia's win makes them the fourth Asian team to register a win at the competition. Only South Korea remain winless of the five Asian teams that qualified for the World Cup.
Duke's glancing header separates the two teams at half-time. Australia with a well-deserved lead as they played confidently and put Tunisia on the back foot. Tunisia were denied by Souttar's well-timed interception and just minutes later Msakni missed from close range. The African team might be able to fight back in the second half.
Mitchell Duke with a proper no.9's finish as he heads into the far post from a cross that took a deflection.
Tunisia coach said that Australia have good, athletic players but his team knows Australia's weaknesses and will exploit them. He said: (via Al Jazeera)
“These are the specificities of the Australian team, it has a high level of athletic performance. They have players who are able to run very rapidly, who can ensure a good exploitation of opportunities. Nevertheless they have some weaknesses which we will be able to invest in."
Australia coach Graham Arnold expects a physical game to ensue here and expects his players to match Tunisia's intensity. He said: (via Al Jazeera)
“It will be very, very physical game. The Tunisians like a physical game and we have got to match that physical aspect."
Australia have just three clean sheets in that period. Interestingly, they have conceded 18 goals in their last seven games at the FIFA World Cup, losing six of them.

Australia Bench -
Garang Kuol, Jamie Maclaren, Jason Cummings, Ajdin Hrustic, Awer Mabil, Cameron Devlin, Keanu Baccus, Marco Tilio, Bailey Wright, Joel King, Milos Degenek, Thomas Deng, Andrew Redmayne, Danny Vukovic
Tunisia (5-2-3): Aymen Dahmen (GK); Mohamed Drager, Dylan Bronn, Montassar Talbi, Yassine Meriah, Ali Abdi; Ellyes Skhiri, Aissa Laidouni; Issam Jebali, Youssef Msakni, Naim Sliti
Australia (4-3-3): Mathew Ryan(GK); Fran Karacic, Harry Souttar, Kye Rowles, Aziz Behich; Jackson Irvine, Riley McGree, Aaron Mooy; Mathew Leckie, Craig Goodwin, Mitchell Duke
Both teams make one change in their starting XI from their campaign openers. Tunisia bring in Naim Sliti in place of Anis Slimane while the Socceroos have opted for Fran Karacic at right-back instead of Nathaniel Atkinson.
Veteran midfielder Wahbi Khazri starts from the bench again.
Australia have been in the group stage at the FIFA World Cup every time since 2006, in which they were eliminated from the round of 16 by eventual champions Italy. This is a must-win game for them.
Iran became the third Asian team to register a win in the competition with a dramatic 2-0 win over Wales yesterday. Can Australia also bounce back from their opening day defeat to secure a win here?
