Denmark vs Tunisia – World Cup 2022 LIVE: Stream FREE, score, TV channel – Cornelius with agonising miss in final stages | The Sun

DENMARK are facing Tunisia RIGHT NOW as the Danes get their World Cup campaign underway looking to build on a successful Euro 2020.

The Danes recovered from the horror of Christian Eriksen collapsing on the pitch in their opening match to reach the semi-final.

And they pushed England all the way before Harry Kane netted the winner off a rebound from a controversial extra time penalty won for the Three Lions.

Tunisia are making their second straight World Cup appearance after a careless Mali own goal saw them make it through the African play-off.

    Carthage Eagles upset the odds

    Tunisia have surprised many in the footballing world with their performance this afternoon.

    Most expected them to be like a rabbit in the car headlights but the North Africans did not get the memo.

    Kasper Schmeichel denied them the goal that their first-half performance warranted.

    They had to dig deep towards the end to keep The Danes at bay but Tunisia managed it and claimed themselves a hard earned point.

    FT: Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    The referee blows his whistle to huge cheers all around this stadium.

    Late drama with that VAR intervention and the lack of penalty.

    After their performance today the North Africans did not deserve that.

    What a great point for the former AFCON champions.

    90+4. Tunisia have had a big let off there.

    The Danish fans cannot believe they weren't given a penalty.

    It is usually the next thing to follow when the referee goes to the monitor.

    Tunisia breath a sigh of relief.

    No penalty

    90+3. Denmark loft a corner into the box.

    The ball is not cleared and as the second ball drops the Denmark players appeal for a handball.

    VAR is checking it and has sent the referee to the screen.

    Anyone order late drama?

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    90+2. Jensen with the long throw into the box.

    They are looking for Cornelius who flicks the ball towards goal.

    Dahmen catches comfortably as he has all afternoon.

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    90. We are going to have an additional five minutes.

    To concede a goal now for either side would be heartbreaking.

    Denmark lose possession, giving Tunisia the chance to break.

    It all breaks down as they look for a free kick but the referee is not playing ball at all.

    88. Double change for Tunisia.

    Sassi and Kechrida join the party.

    Some tired legs coming off the pitch, they have given their all for Tunisia.

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia – Khenissi yellow card

    86. Jensen is caught and a free kick is awarded.

    Khenissi is awarded the first card for Tunisia today.

    This is still high octane stuff from the Tunisians as they attack.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    84. Maehle looks despairingly at the referee.

    He takes the ball to the byline and chips it over the sliding Hannibal.

    As he looks to go passed him, the momentum of the slide takes him down.

    The referee is not interested at all.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    82. Whistles and boos accompany Denmark possession again.

    Whether it is affecting the players we will never know but it does seem to spur loose passes from The Danes.

    Into the final ten minutes of the game, both sides still looking for the winner.

    80. Hannibal and Khenissi come on for Msakni and Jebali.

    Some fresh legs up top for the North Africans.

    Can either of these subs get the winning goal for Tunisia to send this stadium into raptures remains to be seen.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia – Jensen yellow card

    78. Both bookings today have gone Denmark's way.

    Tunisia knock the ball forward and they manage to hold it up well.

    There is no support for him as he looks to lay the ball off.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    76. Tunisia are defending for their lives every time Denmark attack now.

    The longer this game goes on the more desperate The Danes are to find that goal.

    It should offer the chance for Tunisia to hit them on the break.

    Hannibal seems to be warming up for the North Africans.

    He's been known to conquer Europeans before.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    74. The Tunisia defenders have been dominant in the air today.

    When Denmark look to get direct balls forward there is always a Tunisian defender coming crashing through the Danish player to win the ball.

    Most of us are still wondering how Cornelius missed that chance.

    Apart from Cardiff City fans.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    72. Nothing doing with the handball.

    Replays show it does touch his hand but whether it was intentional is another thing.

    You always wonder if these are going to be given with the inconsistencies of VAR but they didn't even look at it.

    Somebody must be on a lunch break.

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia – Cornelius chance

    70. The corner comes in and Christensen heads it back across goal.

    Cornelius is on the back post but somehow heads it onto the post.

    Surely it was easier to score there.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    68. Denmark are dominating possession a little now.

    Tunisia counter attack and slip the ball through for Jebali but the pass was a little too heavy.

    Dahmen makes a great fingertip save from an Eriksen effort from outside the box.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    66. Denmark are looking for more of a focal point up top with the introduction of Cornelius.

    The manager must have felt with those early dangerous crosses into the Tunisia box, they need someone who will look to get on the end of them.

    Tunisia are staying firm defensively.

    Sliti comes on for Slimane.

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    64. Denmark look set to make a treble change.

    One of whom is Andreas Cornelius who some may recognise from a brief stint in the Premier League with Cardiff City.

    Jensen, Cornelius and Lindstrom all come on.

    Simon Kjaer is one of the players replaced.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    62. Skov Olsen does well out the right wing.

    Bending an in-swinging cross in with his left foot.

    Bronn does well to head the ball clear for a corner.

    Tunisia clear the resulting corner with ease.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    60. We have half an hour left here at the Education City Stadium.

    Neither side seems to be showing any signs of fatigue.

    Tunisia are getting cheers from their fans every time they complete a pass at the moment.

  • Kieran Davies

    Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

    58. Tunisia's 'white wall' is being tested by Denmark.

    They are getting better quality crosses into the box, causing their opponents more problems.

    Skov Olsen does not anticipate the flick from Dolberg allowing Tunisia to clear their lines.
