Even before the duel against Tunisia, France could no longer be denied promotion. After two victories, coach Didier Deschamps decided to rest some regular players and bring the “second suit”. But this one didn’t fit at all. The French national team struggled from the start. After a poor performance, the score was initially 0-0 at the break. The “Équipe Tricolore” didn’t see any improvement in the second half either.
So it came as it had to come. Khazri put Tunisia ahead in the 58th minute. In stoppage time, Griezmann put the ball in the outsider’s goal. But the Atletico star was offside. However, it was a success with a bitter taste, especially since the North Africans were eliminated. Instead, Australia celebrated entering the round of 16. France continue on Sunday against Group C runners-up (Poland, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico).
However, a speedster in the second half caused excitement. As usual, FIFA did not show the pictures on TV. Even in the duel between Portugal and Uruguay, a streaker with a rainbow shirt caused a stir. The man ran across the lawn with a colorful flag. However, he could be stopped by the folders. The man was wearing a Superman shirt. It also said “Save Ukraine” on the front of the chest and “Respect for Iranian Women” on the back.
Australia beat Denmark in a quasi-final for second place in Group D of the World Cup. The “Socceroos” prevailed 1-0 (0-0) in Al Wakrah on Wednesday thanks to a goal by Mathew Leckie in the 60th minute. The outsider managed to make it into the round of 16 for the second time after 2006 with a negative goal difference, but with two wins. The winner of Group C is waiting there on Saturday. Denmark disappointed at the tournament.
