58 minutes : GOAL Tunisia ! Tunisia have broken through! Wahbi Khazri has looked their most likely source of a goal all night and takes full advantage as Youssouf Fofana loses out to Ellyes Skhiri and Khazri is allowed to run straight through the France defense, drifting past Raphael Varane and slotting low past Steve Mandanda.
