Spain's Fernando Torres said his team had shown great character to come from behind to beat Tunisia 3-1.

"It was harder than we expected but it is important to win any way you can. Today we showed spirit and did not get downhearted when we were behind," he said.

"As long as the strikers keep scoring we will progress in this tournament."

Tunisia were left to bemoan three goals in the last 19 minutes.

"I am very disappointed, especially for the team and for Tunisia because we had good tactics, we were concentrating on their attacking game, but it all crumbled because of a single mistake," Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre said, referring to Raul's equaliser in the 71st minute.

"All is not lost but we didn't win anything here either. The Ukraine game (on Friday) will be decisive, the route will be difficult, but we still have hope."
