Tunisia 1-0 France: Whabi Khazri With Famous Win Over France: Despite failing to go past the round of 16, Tunisia left the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with pride after shocking the reigning champions, France.
The solitary goal of the match was scored by Whabi Khazri in the second half, giving the African team a chance to finish second in the group but sending them home as Australia defeated Denmark.
Even though Tunisia defeated France by a score of 1-0, it was not enough to advance them to the round of 16.
Les Blues had advanced to the last rounds when Didier Deschamps made nine changes, but the team lacked coherence and rhythm.
Even though Tunisia was the superior team, Nader Ghandri’s flicked goal from a free kick was disallowed in the opening period.
Wahbi Khazri was allowed to run into the box unopposed and he finished calmly to ignite widespread celebrations. However, they did manage to score one that mattered in the second half.
In an attempt to turn things around, France brought in players like Kylian Mbappe and Antonie Griezmann, but they were unable to alter their disorganized performance.
The Atletico striker did score, but the goal was overturned by a thorough VAR review in the waning seconds.
Despite winning, Tunisia is eliminated since Australia defeated Denmark, where they were hoping for a tie. Together with France, Australia advances with six points.
