Just three hours after Saudi Arabia’s stunning upset over Argentina, Group D offered another surprising result as Tunisia held favored Denmark to a 0-0 draw during Tuesday’s World Cup action.
Tunisia, who has never advanced past the group stage, had a golden opportunity to open the scoring if not for a brilliant save by Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel on forward Issam Jebali.
However, a controversial moment occurred in stoppage time as Denmark was denied a penalty kick following a VAR review on what appeared to be a handball. Instead, Referee Cesar Arturo Ramos ruled a foul had occurred during the build-up and thus awarded Tunisia a free kick.
