World Cup 2022: Tunisia coach Jalel Kadri admits mixed feelings after win over France

Tunisia coach Jalel Kadri was left with mixed emotions after beating France 1-0 in their final group game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Wednesday.

However, despite victory they failed to qualify for the last 16 of the global showpiece following Australia’s 1-0 win over Denmark in the other group game.

Tunisia captain Wahbi Khazi’s second-half goal proved to be the winner at the Education City Stadium. Antoine Griezmann found the back of the net via a deflection but France’s celebrations quickly turned to frustration when the goal was ruled out by the VAR.

“It’s mixed feelings because we’re happy to beat a team like France,” said Tunisia manager Jalel Kadri.

“We can be proud and leave with our head high, but it is a bitter victory.

“It would have been beautiful to beat France and reach the last 16. It is our fault for not doing what we needed to do before.”

Tunisia’s wait to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time continues as they exit the competition.
