World Cup: Spain vs Tunisia – 3-1 respectively

Spain's unbeaten streak under coach Luis Aragones is now at 24 games and the young squad advanced to the second round from Group H. It was the last of the middle games of the first round.

While Spain is through, the North Africans must beat Ukraine in their last match if they hope to move on, according to the AP.

Substitute Raul Gonzalez and attacking partner Fernando Torres turned the game around in a six-minute span after Tunisia took an early lead on a counterattack. Torres added a penalty kick goal in the 90th.

Aragones fielded the same starting lineup that routed Ukraine 4-0 in Spain's best World Cup opener. Tunisia stunned the Spaniards in the eighth minute when Jawhar Menari scored.

Striker Ziad Jaziri set up the goal after winning a duel with Carles Puyol, dribbling through three defenders in the box and lifting the ball to Menari. The striker's first shot was blocked by Iker Casillas, but Menari put in the rebound.
