Second-half goal by captain Khazri helps Tunisia beat France but Australia’s win over Denmark seals their exit.
Tunisia beat France 1-0 to reach the last 16 of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Doha. Wahbi Khazri scored the only goal of the game for Tunisia but it was not enough for them to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Khazri steered home a 58th-minute winner amid a cluster of defenders for only a third victory at six World Cup tournaments for Tunisia, but they were still eliminated as Australia beat Denmark 1-0 in the other group match.
In the final minutes, Tunisia had to hold on for the victory as an Antoine Griezmann goal in stoppage time was disallowed following a VAR review.
Khazri, who grew up in Corsica and plays in Ligue 1 for Montpellier, was one of six players in the Tunisian line-up who were born on French soil and he was capped by France at the under-21 level.
There is a large Tunisian community in France who will savour the result, the country’s first win against European opposition at a World Cup and just their third ever in 18 matches at the tournament.
