Australia prevailed over Tunisia 1-0 to bolster their chances of advancing into the knockout stage at the Al-Janoub Stadium in a crucial group-D encounter on Saturday.
Australia launched the first attack from the left, but the cross from the flank was feeble to cause any threat. Following that play, Aaron Frank Mooy was fouled, giving Australia the game's first free kick, which the Tunisian defence deflected away effortlessly.
The 35-year-old left the field after pulling up sore from a sprinting effort during the powerplay, against Ireland and didn't return for the rest of the game. Matthew Wade took over as the team's skipper after the batter didn't return to the field.
Speaking after the match in a post-match conference, the 'Player of the Match' was emotional and could not find words to express his excitement and happiness. He said that he was really proud of his teammates.
