Tunisia failed to make an impact at the World Cup, and the coaching change did little to improve their fortunes. Their defeat to the Netherlands marked the end of a dismal campaign for the Carthaginians: zero points, a goal difference of 2-12, and the unenviable status of the tournament’s worst team—at least for now.
The outcome of this match was decided very early on. By the 7th minute, Tunisia had already conceded two goals, one of which was an own goal. After that, the Netherlands simply controlled the game with ease. The only concession the Dutch made was allowing their opponents to score a consolation goal.
