[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = France were caught in the middle of their final match against Tunisia.

France lost 0-1 to Tunisia in the “2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar World Cup Final Group D Final Match” held at Al Rayyan Education Stadium in Qatar at 0:00 (Korean time) on 1st. France reversed the rotation, but collapsed by conceding the opener. Tunisia has managed to hunt the big fish called France and has been able to capture the beauty of the species.

The French national team, who progressed to the round of 16 as the first team from Group D, will face Argentina and Mexico or Saudi Arabia and Poland from Group C.

Previously, France had won their opening match against Australia 4-1 and against Denmark 2-1 after a close encounter. The French national team, who won two games, broke the 2002 European team’s misfortune of elimination in the group stage of the reigning World Cup champions. France broke the curse started in France. Tunisia was disappointing. They fought well, but missed their first ever chance to reach the last 16 when Australia beat Denmark.

The relatively slow (?) French national team played Tunisia with an unconventional starting line-up.

A large number of key players have been excluded. Guendouzi, Muani and Komang were deployed at the front. Beretu, Popana and Chuameni breathed in midfield, and Disasi, Baran, Konate and Kamavinga came out at back four. The goal was for Mandanda, not for Lloris. Notable the passage of the midfielder Camavinga on the left wing. Guendouzi was also deployed further up.

In the case of Tunisia, they have come out with a more aggressive lineup. With Khazri, Romdan and Slimane coming out as top three, Raiduni and Skiri matched their feet in midfield. Ketsrida and Maaul were full-backs, Meria, Gandri and Talbi three defenders and Dahmen wore goalkeeper gloves.

Rather than France, Tunisia showed aggressive game management. In the 8th minute of the first half, in a set-piece situation, Gandry shook the French net with a direct shot, but the goal was disallowed for an offside foul. It was a short car.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Kazuri attempted a mid-range shot from the front of the arc, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper. In extra time of the first half, Kazuri tried to shoot on the break, but the zero was not taken. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Kazuri attempted a low cross from goal, but it didn’t score.

In the case of France, they have not created a threatening opportunity. 15′ into the first half, Guendouzi attempted a header from a corner kick, but was blocked by the opponents’ defensive wall. In the 25th minute of the first half, Komang attempted a shot on target on a counterattack, but missed the goal.

The first half ended 0-0 and Tunisia continued to attack in the early stages of the second half. Finally, Tunisia opened the scoring in the 13th minute of the second half. The main character was Captain Kazuri. He was a nice left footed shot. There was a lot of active movement.

Skiree took the ball from Popana and connected it forward. Next, Kazuri broke through the French defense with a flurry of dribbling. He fell on the opponent’s close mark and attempted a left-footed shot, which shook the French net. It was the first milestone reached by the seriousness of Tunisia.

After conceding a goal, France made a breakthrough by introducing key players. Even Tunisia has not backed down easily. France pulls the reins of the attack even more for the equalizer. Key replaced players like Mbappe and Dembele tried successive shots but failed to shake the Tunisian net.

Griezmann scored late in the match, but it was disallowed after reading the VAR. The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Tunisia.
