Belgium and Tunisia have kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the second round of the World Cup after a 1-1 draw in Oita
Belgium and Tunisia have kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the second round of the World Cup after a 1-1 draw in Oita.
It was Tunisia's first point of the competition after an opening match defeat against Russia, while Belgium secured their second successive draw to leave them in third place with two points.
Belgium opened the scoring after 13 minutes with a goal from Marc Wilmots who swept the ball home from close range after good work from his team-mates to create the opening.
But Tunisia hit back in fine style with an equaliser just four minutes later. Raouf Bouzaiane curled a delightful free kick into the roof of the net to haul themselves back into the match.
Both sides had chances to snatch the points with Tunisia looking dangerous in the first half and Belgium enjoying the better of the match after the break, but in the end a draw was probably a fair reflection of the 90 minutes.
Final score: Belgium 1-1 Tunisia
