Fifa World Cup Highlights: AUS vs DEN, FRA vs TUN

Historic day for Australia as they qualified for the Round of 16 for only the second time in their World Cup history. They beat Denmark 1-0. Tunisia shocked France 1-0

Australia vs Denmark

It is awinner takes it all in the Group D clash between Australia and Denmark at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar. While Denmark lost to France 1-2 in their last game, Australia slides past Tunisia with a solitary goal to take their tally to three points. Now, even a draw will take Australia to the Round of 16, but the same can’t be said for Denmark who only have one point on the board. 

In a scenario where both Denmark and Tunisia manage to win their games, it will come down to Goal Difference. While it is highly unlikely that the African nation will be able to shock France, but if it does, it will have to do with more than just one goal as they are behind Denmark in terms of goals scored. 

France vs Tunisia

France, the defending champions are already through with back-to-back wins vs Australia and Denmark. But they won’t settle for anything less than a win against Tunisia when they play the African nation at the Education City Stadium. They will be looking to enter the Round of 16 as firm favourites. 

Tunisia on the other hand looked in both their games and were unlucky to lose the second one. The only way they can reach ahead in the World Cup is by winning against France and hoping that Australia and Denmark play a draw. If it is not a draw between the two, then Denmark must win by not more than one goal. In such a case, Tunisia would have to win against France by more than two goals.

France vs Tunisia Live Score: Griezmann’s goal cancelled, Tunisia win

 

90+ Minutes

 

The injury-time goal from Antoinne Griezmann has been cancelled after an intervention of the VAR as he was termed offside and Tunisia, who had held on to their lead for such a long time will breathe a sigh of relief as they win the match. However, even this historic win cannot take them to the Round of 16 because Australia beat Denmark in their game and they have six points and therefore are going through as the second team from the group alongside France into the Round of 16

France vs Tunisia Live Score: Hockey-like moves from Mbappe

 

87 Minutes

 

The French team are doing really well here and into the attacking third, Mbappe pulled out a hockey-kind move as he played the ball on the backline by being outside the line himself and keeping the ball in. And then he got the ball in the shooting range and shot from almost a 75-degree angle but the Tunisian goalkeeper was on the mark to save it.

With just 10 minutes to go, the French coach Didier Deschamps has decided to go all out as he has brought in Dembele, Mbappe and Rabiot onto the field to try and get at least one goal and get a point from this game.

What would have been a great chance for Denmark to equalise and come into the contest to qualify for the Round of 16 with 20 minutes of regulation time to go, has now been turned into nothing. Danish number 12 Dolberg on whom the foul was drawn and the penalty was awarded to Denmark, was found marginally offside

Australia vs Denmark Live Score: Matthew Leckie downs Tunisian and Danish hopes at the same time

 

60 Minutes

 

This is one of the best goals and what a moment to score it. Just after Tunisia scored in their game against France and Asutralia came under pressure as a draw would mean they are out now, they have scored and put a lot of pressure on Denmark who now need to score twice in the last 30 minutes plus added atime to win the game. And by the looks of it, it looks very tough job. 

 

It was Matthew Leckie who went to the Danish half alone and managed to put the ball in the right corner far away from the reach of Schmeichel 

 

AUS 1-0 DEN

57 Minutes

 

Finally…after being offside more than often, the Tunisisna captain managed to break the deadlock and get one past Mandanda. It was a great challenge by Skhri, the masked man in the middle of the pitch that got the ball to the Tunisian captain who went with the ball and shot from near the goalkeeper and the ball went in between the legs of the defender and it was the first goal for Tunisia in this World Cup and a goal that they very much needed.
