The 2022 FIFA World Cup continued Tuesday as Denmark-Tunisia fought to a scoreless standstill as the second game of the day ended in a 0-0 draw. It was a major accomplishment for an underdog Tunisia team against a Denmark squad that reached the World Cup quarterfinals in 2018.

Denmark and Tunisia battled to a 0-0 draw due in part to incredible saves by Tunisia Goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen.

It marked the second straight game in which an underdog punched way above its weight in front of a raucous fan base in Qatar. Early risers witnessed a stunning upset in the first game of the day as Saudi Arabia stunned Lionel Messi and Argentina with a 2-1 win in front of a raucous crowd.
