2006 FIFA WORLD CUP: Budweiser Man of the Match: Zied Jaziri (TUN)

/noticias.info/ by FIFAworldcup.com

Zied Jaziri was voted Budweiser Man of the Match after scoring Tunisia's first goal and then providing the cross that led to their dramatic injury-time equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia.

Just as Saudi Arabia seemed to be enjoying a nice spell of pressure, Jaziri opened the scoring in acrobatic fashion in the 23rd minute. The Saudi defence failed to clear a free-kick into the area and the Troyes-based striker volleyed the bouncing ball into the net.

His team then fell behind after surrendering two second-half goals, but Jaziri delivered again in injury time as his pinpoint cross found Radhi Jaidi, whose header beat goalkeeper Mabrouk Zaid.

“He scored the first goal and gave the assist for the equaliser in almost the very last minute,” said FIFA Technical Study Group member Rodrigo Kenton. “He was courageous and fought a lot during the whole game.” notas_de_prensa_archivo
