The performance obviously does not have the same impact as the success of Saudi Arabia at the expense of Argentina (2-1) but Tunisia achieves the second surprise since the start of the World Cup by managing to snatch a point against the Danish team.
In this group D, the confrontation between the next two opponents of the France team was hardly flamboyant.
If Tunisia was transformed from its last outing at the Parc des Princes last September in a friendly match lost to Brazil (5-1), Denmark was much less dashing and effective than during the last Euro (semi-finalist beaten by England) and the League of Nations where he had beaten France twice (in June and September).
In a balanced first act, opportunities are rare.
The Tunisians, well in place, get the best opportunities.
A shot from Mohamed Dräger blocked by Andreas Christensen passes close to the amount of Keisper Schmeichel (11th) then the goal from the outside of the brilliant foot of Issam Jebali is refused for an offside position (25th).
Superior in the battle of the middle, the Eagles of Carthage considerably hamper the Danes borrowed and unable to raise their level of play. The latter fit only one shot by Höjbjerg (33rd).
Denmark's awakening
Back from the locker room, Tunisia increases its pressure.
Laidouni rode 70 meters before being blocked in extremis by Andreas Christensen when serving Anis Ben Slimane (51st).
Denmark wakes up in the last 20 minutes.
Scandinavian boss Christian Eriksen takes the game on his own and makes a sudden strike but Aymen Dahmen deflects it masterfully on his left with the opposite hand (70th).
On the corner, Andreas Christensen takes off at the far post and heads for Andreas Cornelius whose attempt hits the post.
Warned by the VAR for an involuntary hand of a Tunisian defender in his area in additional time, the Mexican referee César Arturo Ramos takes his responsibilities and does not award a penalty to the Scandinavians.
The two teams therefore leave on the first goalless draw of this World Cup which does the business of the France team.
On the other hand, the second match of these two teams promises to be crucial this Saturday.
The Danes could get closer to a surprising exit in the event of a setback against the Blues.
After being the first African team to win a World Cup match in 1978 against Mexico, the partners of Lorient's Mountasser Talbi would be on their way to achieving a first accessit for the round of 16 in the event of a victory over Australia.
