Flattering score

After a surprising early Tunisian goal, the Spanish were kept from scoring for a highly frustrating 71 minutes. Only then did Raul break the deadlock. Fabregas' shot was not handled well by the Tunisian goalkeeper and Raul pounced on it from 3 meters out. Spain went on to score another goal in the 76th minute - Fernando Torres from Cesc Fabregas' assist. They were even awarded a penalty - correct decision (Yahia held down Torres) - that was almost saved by Ali Boumnijel, but went in nevertheless. A slightly flattering score for the Spanish who had to work hard for this one.
