Ukraine 1-0 Tunisia

Radhi Jaidi challenges striker Andriy Voronin as Ukraine probe Tunisia's defence looking for an early breakthrough

With three minutes played, Andriy Shevchenko darts into the box but Tunisia are quick to close him down

Voronin comes close to meeting a dangerous cross but goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel does enough to keep it out

The Europeans' backline is tested by Ziad Jaziri who makes some threatening runs but also gets booked for diving

Former Spurs striker Sergei Rebrov looks to fashion a chance as the North Africans continue to frustrate

Needing a win, Tunisia's hopes receive a big blow when Jaziri receives a second booking on the stroke of half-time

As Ukraine become increasingly dominant, Hatem Trabelsi becomes one of Tunisia's few outlets down the right side

Coach Oleg Blokhin sees his side's pressure rewarded in the 70th minute when Shevchenko wins a penalty and converts it

The goal all but ends Tunisia's challenge leaving Ukraine to push forward for a second in the final stages

The game ends 1-0 ensuring Ukraine's safe passage into the last 16 and a match against the winners of Group G

For Tunisia, however, the party has come to an end much to the disappointment of the players and all concerned
