Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedTunisia's group stage exit was written early: two Dutch goals inside seven minutes buried the Carthage Eagles before the match had found its shape, and though Mastouri pulled one back after the break, Hecke's strike shortly after the hour restored the three-goal cushion and sealed a 3-1 defeat. Tunisia finished bottom of Group F without a point, their record of three defeats and a goal difference of minus ten telling the story of a tournament in which they were consistently outclassed — a dispiriting campaign ended against one of the competition's heavyweights.
