James Rodríguez expressing his honor to be praised by his hero, 'El Pibe' Valderrama.

His Nigerian counterpart Stanley Eguma was not happy with his defence.

"My boys tried to play a good game, but the early goal was our problem. We also didn't defend well," he said.

Algerian Ibrahim Chenihi gave the Tunisian's the lead after 19 minutes before FUS drew level early in the second half through a penalty by Mohammed Fouzair.

Seydou Camara with the only goal of the match after 72 minutes.
