Tunisia U17 Football Team Falls to Belgium 0-2 in World Cup Match
The Tunisian U17 football team lost to their Belgian counterparts 0-2 in a match counting for the 3rd and final day (Group D) of the World Cup in the category, held on Sunday in Doha. The Carthage Eagles were caught off guard by the Belgians with a strike from Noah Fernandez, who took advantage of a poor clearance by goalkeeper Slim Bouasker. Affected by the expulsion of Seif Haj Abdallah in the 16th minute and the injury of Wassim Slama, replaced by Yassine Ben Mahmoud in the 34th minute, the Tunisians conceded a second goal scored by Ali Camara in the 55th minute. In the other match of the group, Argentina thrashed Fiji 7-0. At the end of this last day of the group stage, Belgium (2nd) joins Argentina (1st) in the round of 16, while Tunisia (3rd) must wait for the last matches of the groups to determine its fate, with the top 8 third-placed teams also qualifying for the next round.
