Khaberni - The Tunisian national team concluded its participation in the 2026 World Cup with a new defeat, after falling to the Netherlands with a score of 3-1 in the third and final round of the group stage, thus leaving the tournament without any points and rounding off one of its worst participations in the World Cup history.
The Dutch team needed only three minutes to open the scoring, after Ellyes Skhiri mistakenly turned the ball into his country's net, continuing the streak of own goals by Arab players in the current edition of the tournament.
Just four minutes later, Brian Brobbey doubled the score with the second goal, benefiting from a superb pass from Virgil van Dijk, putting the "Clockwork Orange" in a comfortable position from the start.
But the hopes of the "Eagles of Carthage" didn't last long, as Jan Paul van Hecke restored the two-goal lead in the 62nd minute after he rose above everyone and headed a corner into the net, securing a 3-1 victory for the Netherlands.
