Finally, Tunisia have scored Africa's first goal at Russia 2018.

Out of 5 African countries at the World Cup, Morocco, Egypt, and Nigeria have played so far, with all three teams failing to score as they all lost their first game respectively.

Tunisia the fourth African team is currently in action against England, Harry Kane put the three lions in the lead early on in the game.

In the 35th minute, Tunisia won a penalty after Kyle Walker fouled Sassi in the box, Sassi stepped up to convert the penalty, and that's Africa's first goal at the World Cup, a crucial goal for Tunisia and the continent as a whole.

Hopefully, Tunisia can hold on for a draw or get a win as that will be a huge morale booster for other African teams.
