Tunisia vs Netherlands finishes in draw
Tunisia midfielder Jamelle Saihi fired an equaliser four minutes after Klass Jan Huntelaar had opened the scoring to ensure Holland's trip to north Africa finished in a draw. Huntelaar broke the deadlock on the hour mark after fellow half-time substitute Rafael van der Vaart's free-kick fell to him in the area. Tunisia's attacking threat had been minimal throughout, but they found an equaliser just four minutes after going behind when Saihi's sweetly struck 25-yard drive hit the net.
In the end both sides were content to finish with a draw and look forward to their World Cup qualifying campaigns. The "Oranje" next face a crucial encounter with Scotland on March 28 in their bid to reach South Africa 2010, while the Tunisians travel to Kenya on the same day to kick-off the final stage of their qualifiers.
