Tunisia wasted dangerous chances and settled for a goalless draw with Denmark after an enthusiastic performance, thanks to thousands of its passionate fans, in the first round of Group D of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar today, Tuesday.
The stands of the Education City stadium were covered in red and the flags of Tunisia appeared, and it seemed that the team of coach Jalal Al-Qadri was playing on his land, so he pressed the attack in long periods of the match against a competitor that many nominated to be the black horse in the tournament.
A goal by Tunisian striker Issam Jebali, a professional in Denmark, was ruled out in the first half for offside, while midfielder Issa Lidouni missed goalkeeper Casper Schmeichel strangely at the beginning of the second half.
Tunisia goalkeeper Ayman Dahman did not face a difficult test before Christian Eriksen’s powerful shot in the 69th minute and brilliantly turned it into a corner kick.
Eriksen, returning to play in a major tournament for the first time since suffering a heart attack at Euro 2020, was absent from the impact of tight defensive control.
Later in the day, France, the defending champion, will play Australia in the same group.
