Australia started the better against a Tunisia team who held Denmark 0-0 in their opener and are looking to reach the knockout stage for the first time.
In the 23rd minute Australia took the lead their possession deserved. Craig Goodwin, who scored the opener in the loss to France, crossed from the left and the ball ricocheted for Duke to glance his header back over his own shoulder and into the net.
