Tunisia were overrun in their last fixture, conceding 4 goals without reply against Japan. Substitutions came early, with Dylan Bronn replaced at half-time and Ismaël Gharbi and Amine Ben Hmida introduced at the same interval. Firas Chaouat entered at 64 minutes, and both Ellyes Skhiri and Ali Abdi made way in stoppage time.
Netherlands were clinical against Sweden. Brian Brobbey scored in the 5th and 17th minutes before being withdrawn at 72. Cody Gakpo added goals at 47 and 54 minutes. Cody Summerville, introduced at half-time, converted in the 89th minute to complete a commanding performance.
Key Players to Watch
- Hannibal Mejbri (Tunisia) — central to any creative output from the Tunisian midfield.
- Ellyes Skhiri (Tunisia) — brings defensive discipline and experience in the middle of the park.
- Cody Gakpo (Netherlands) — two goals in the last match signal sharp form at exactly the right moment.
- Brian Brobbey (Netherlands) — physical and direct, his ability to hold up play stretches defenses from the first whistle.
- Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands) — organizes the backline and limits space for opposition forwards.
