Tunisia bows out of World Cup after defeating reigning champions France

Tunisia have crashed out of the 2022 World Cup but with their heads held high as they defeated reigning champions, France 1-0 on Wednesday at the Education City stadium.

Skipper Wahbi Khazri scored what would have been a decisive goal for the Carthage Eagles had it been Denmark drew with Australia in the other fixture that ended 1-0 in favour of the Australians.

Antoine Greizmann, however, found the back of the net in added time but drama ensued when the referee called for a VAR check and ruled out the goal to send the Tunisian fans in jubilant mood despite knowing they were out of the competition.

Tunisia finished the group in third position with four points behind Australia and Group winners France who finished with six points apiece.
