Doha ∙ In the first match of the Qatar World Cup, Tunisia beat the mighty Denmark without scoring a goal. Both teams had good chances, but failed to capitalize on them to make the match goalless. Denmark put the ball into the Tunisian net in the second half through Olsen, but the referee called for offside. With this, both the teams got one point each in Group D.
A draw against Tunisia is a heavy blow for Denmark, who have been relatively dominant in possession and passing. In the 56th minute, Denmark opened the net through Skov Olsen, but the referee’s offside decision also backfired. After Damsgaard’s shot was saved by the Tunisian goalkeeper, Olsen put the ball into the net.
If Tunisia was better in the first half, Denmark also showed strength in the second half. Although the Danes were more attacking in the second half than in the first half, Tunisian goalkeeper Ayman Dehmann’s brilliant performance kept them away from the target.
Denmark also have goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to thank for stopping Tunisia’s goal-scoring move in the first half. In the 43rd minute, Tunisian player Jebali’s chip shot was incredibly blocked by Schmeichel.
