Gallas helps France to equal with Tunisia 1-1

France's preparations for the World Cup, on Sunday got a wake up call when they had to come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw against Tunisia.

France's top scorer Thierry Henry found himself on the bench preferring to start with striker Nicolas Anelka. Hugo Lloris was the goalkeeper and there was no other change in the team. They played in 4-3-3 formation.

France got their equalizer in the 62nd minute when William Gallas headed in Yoann Gourcuff's floating 30m freekick from close range.

France have one more remaining warm-up, against China on Friday, before their World Cup campaign opens on June 11 against Uruguay.
