Tunisia 2 Saudi Arabia 2: Saudi Arabia's record-breaking striker Sami Al Jaber struck what he thought was the winner before an injury-time Tunisian 2-2 equaliser today but he insisted his team's World Cup hopes were still on track.
Al Jaber, who was struggling with a thigh injury before the match which threatened his participation in his fourth World Cup finals, was bitterly disappointed the Saudis had not taken all three points in Group H after his 84th minute goal.
"We were unlucky to let a goal in one minute before the end. Now we have one point. It is not the end of the competition for us. We have to work hard against Ukraine," Al Jaber told reporters.
"I am still recovering (from the thigh injury) and I will do everything possible to recover to be ready for that match."
Saudi midfielder Mohammed Ameen added: "Our second half performance will motivate us to play equally well against Ukraine.
"We are sure they will show another performance than they played against Spain today (losing 4-0)."
Tunisia were bitterly disappointed with their point from a match they were convinced they would win.
"We didn't recognise our team today," said Tunisia midfielder Adel Chedli. "It was a catastrophe. We never really found our rhythm. It was a pity because we led 1-0 at halftime and then we did some foolish things.
"What didn't work for us? Everything. On Monday we hope to be a different team aginst Spain. We definitely want to qualify and if it means we have to beat Ukraine in the last match then we will do everything to beat them."
