ALL THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENED
FULL-TIME: The referee blows the final whistle as Ukraine seal their place in the second round after a 1-0 win against 10-man Tunisia. Ukraine's goal came from Andriy Shevchenko after the striker was brought down by Karim Hagui. Tunisia are also left to rue Ziad Jaziri's sending off for a second bookable offence just before half-time.
89 mins: It is another chance for Ukraine as Voronin is sent through but is again blocked from six yards out. Three minutes of injury time have been added.
87 mins: Goal-hero Shevchenko is substituted off to a rapturous cheers from the Ukraine crowd. Vororin has a chance to extend their lead with a shot on goal, but his left-sided drive is parried away.
85 mins: Oleg Shelayev crosses in from the left as Ukraine close in on second round but to no avail.
79 mins: It is a double substitution as Tunisia desperately hope to shake things up. Riadh Bouazizi and Chedli come off and Chaouki Ben Saada and Francileudo Santos make their way onto the pitch.
77 mins: The Tunisians seem to be losing heart as they concede another free-kick inside their own half. Tymoschchyuk send in a high, fast cross but the ball is deflected out of the danger area.
70 mins GOAL: Ukraine 1-0 Tunisia
It could be all over for 10-man Tunisia after Ukraine's talismanic striker Shevchenko slots home from the penalty spot. Shevchenko is awarded the spot-kick after being brought down by Karim Hagui in the box and makes no mistake as he drives the ball inside the right post.
64 mins: Tunisia earn a free-kick in a dangerous place after Ukraine's Rusol is penalised for his challenge on Namouchi. Mnari takes the free-kick, four yards from the box on the right, but Tunisia keeper Ali Boumnijel blocks.
62 mins: The Tunisians look increasingly frustrated as Ukraine appear content to knock the ball around the midfield area, with short passes between Andriy Rusol, Tymoschchyuk and Oleg Gusev.
58 mins: Nesmachny's long ball down the left is headed out by Mnari for a throw-in deep in Tunisia's half, but Ukraine make little of the chances as they are soon dispossessed.
54 mins: Ukraine make the first substitution with Andriy Vorobey replacing the ineffective Rebrov in midfield.
52 mins: Tunisia are being forced to repel wave upon wave of Ukraine attacks with few options up front.
"This is dire at the moment - it really is."
Gavin Peacock, BBC TV pundit
49 mins: Sergei Rebrov's long ball from the right of the centre circle picks out Voronin in the box, but the striker is quickly closed down by a desperate Tunisian defence.
45 mins: No changes to either side as the second half kicks off with 10-man Tunisia needing to break the 0-0 deadlock to make it through to the next round.
"I was looking forward to the game at the start. I thought it would be a terrific match - it's been anything but."
Martin O'Neill, Former Celtic manager on BBC TV
HALF-TIME: Ukraine look in pole position to progress to the second round as Tunisia are reduced to 10 men. It has been a patchy first half with chances on both sides, but Tunisia face an uphill task to get the win they need to leapfrog Ukraine in the Group H standings and qualify.
46 mins SENT OFF:
It is a massive blow for Tunisia as Jaziri is sent off for his second bookable offence after his challenge on Anatoly Tymoschhyuk. The Tunisians are stunned as the referee blows the half-time whistle.
41 mins: Scrappy play sees neither side gaining the advantage in this tense decider in Berlin.
36 mins: Gutierrez Juanito gives Spain a 1-0 lead against Saudi Arabia in the other match in Group H. His header from Jose Antonio Reyes' free-kick piles on the pressure for the Saudis, who need to win in addition to a Tunisia victory to have any hope of qualifying.
34 mins: Chedli shoots wide of the left post in a rare opportunity for Tunisia.
31 mins: Shevchenko is left to rue a missed opportunity as he makes a penetrating run into the Tunisia box but holds on for too long without passing and the ball is kicked out of play. Maxim Kalinichenko takes the resulting corner but to no avail.
29 mins: Jaziri wins the first corner of the match as his shot is deflected behind the goal line. But Adel Chedli is unable to make the most of Tunisia's chance as the Ukraine keeper plucks out the ball.
23 mins: Ukraine's Nesmachny sends long looping ball from behind the halfway line, Shevchenko connects but can only get off a tame effort.
21 mins: Andriy Voronin unleashes a shot from six yards out after good work from Andriy Nesmachny but the Tunisia keeper has little trouble keeping it out.
17 mins: Vyacheslav Sviderskiy is next to be booked after leaning on another player, earning Tunisia a free-kick two yards from the edge of the box. Hamed Namouchi takes a shot, but Ukraine goalkeeper Oleksander Shovkovsky comfortably blocks his effort.
15 mins: Ukraine's Shevchenko attacks down the left but his cross is intercepted by Trabelsi.
12 mins: Tunisia's Hatem Trabelsi makes a tremendous run down the right, cutting inside from the corner flag and skipping past two defenders before a worried Ukraine back line win back the ball.
8 mins: Ziad Jaziri gets the first booking of the match for diving. Joahar Mnari had made a long run down the right before slotting the ball into the box but Jaziri stumbles before he can make contact.
3 mins: Shevchenko makes a darting run into the box but Tunisia are quick to close him down.
1 mins: Ukraine kick off in this tense clash which will decide which team follows Spain into the second round, but Tunisia show their intent cutting off Ukraine's possession.
PRE-MATCH BUILD-UP
1456 BST: The teams have lined up for the anthems in front of a packed house in Berlin. Tunisia know they must win to have a chance of progressing beyond the group stage for the first time. But Ukraine, competing in their first World Cup, need just a draw to reach the second round.
Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin has kept faith with the line-up which beat Saudi Arabia 4-0.
This means that Andriy Shevchenko and strike partner Andriy Voronin can count on support in attack from Maxim Kalinichenko and Serhiy Rebrov.
Tunisia have also named an unchanged side for a match that they must win to have a chance of advancing beyond the group stage for the first time.
They are again without main striker Francileudo Santos (leg).
