Denmark and Tunisia played out the first goalless draw at the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday.
Despite fielding many Premier League regulars, the much-fancied Danes were given a tough workout in Group D.
Both sides had goals ruled out for offside, while Denmark’s Andreas Cornelius somehow missed from a yard.
There was 95th-minute drama when referee Cesar Ramos checked the pitchside monitor over a potential Denmark penalty for handball, only to stick with his original decision.
One of the pre-tournament favourites, Denmark will need to find some form if they are to qualify from a tricky-looking group.
Tunisia will next play Australia while Denmark tackle France in what is expected to be an explosive encounter.
