MATCH FACTS

So, Equatorial Guinea, ranked 118 in the world, progress to the last four, and there must be admiration for that.

Tunisia were desperately disappointing for much of that game and they did not respond well to going behind.

But - and it's a big but - they were on the receiving end of a dreadful decision from the referee for the Equatorial Guinea equaliser, and they probably have a right to feel robbed.
