Australia runs, fights and knocks Tunisia out of the Cup: Duke’s goal is too heavy

The second day of group D dei World Cup in Qatar opened with the heavy victory ofAustralia against Tunisia. The two teams had most of the chances of going on in the adventure of the championship, and the green-and-yellow team took advantage of the best possible way thanks to a goal by Duke. Three points that allow Arnold’s team to momentarily reach France at the top of the group.

Australia was the protagonist of an excellent approach to the game. The “kangaroos” put their main qualities into play, namely physicality, quantity and dynamism, surprising the less brilliant Tunisian representative compared to Poland. Thus, the Socceroos’ advantage was deserved, signed by Duke with a beautiful crooked header. The 0-1, led the Africans to give everything, especially in the second half.

And in fact, Tunisia pressed more insistently in the second half without, however, managing to find a way to score. The entry of the much talked about Khazri was the last card played by coach Jalel Kadri. The change certainly increased the offensive potential of a formation (one of the most important opportunities for him) that was also at risk of finding itself at a double disadvantage, lending its team to dangerous counterattacks.

Those three points give Australia a huge boost, unexpected after their opener against France. The green-and-yellow lineup arrives at the tip of the current world champions, who enter the field against Denmark at 17:00. Bad news for Tunisia, who are in serious danger of being eliminated, as they will face Les Bleus in the last round. It will take a company to try to have hope in the next round and it is not certain that it will be enough for the red-blacks. Much more was expected of them, especially today.
