Tunisia captain Wahbi Khazi has showered praises on his teammates for their impressive performance against France in their final group game at the 2022 World Cup.
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.
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.
“I said nothing is impossible. We have been able to win over the world champions,” Kadri said after the game.
“We have been able to prove our efficiency and we did our best. We worked as a team. It wasn’t easy for us to get these four points [in the group stage] but we leave with a lot of honour and pride.”
Tunisia’s wait to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time continues as they exit the competition.
