The FIFA World Cup 2022 hosted by Qatar is approaching the knockout stage and the teams are fighting it hard to storm into the Round of 16. With the likes of Brazil, France, England and USA already into the knockout stage, it remains to be seen if the likes of Argentina and Spain would join the heavyweight teams.
On November 30, Wednesday, Tunisia and France locked horns in the Group D match and both teams put out a great fight in the first half, it ended goalless for both teams. To add more to the first half, Les Bleus dominated the game, leaving no space for the Carthage Eagles to get a breakthrough.
As far as the second half is concerned, the teams still remained goalless at the 55-minute mark, and after fighting it hard for almost an hour, in the 58th minute, Wahbi Khazri produced the lead for Tunisia and put the team on the front foot. Eventually, with the goal, the momentum shifted away from France and the Les Blues started losing confidence. With just seconds left in the game, France’s Antoine Griezmann matched the lead for his team, only to get called off by the umpire. The Carthage Eagles ended their campaign in style with a 1-0 win and set the tone for the next edition of the FIFA World Cup.
