France drew against Tunisia with a goal from Antoine Griezmann, but the VAR annulled it for offside | VIDEO

It was close to the tie, but failed to score. Antoine Griezmann scored the goal for the 1-1 of France vs. Tunisia, but it was disallowed for offside.

The French soccer team suffered an unexpected 1-0 loss to Tunisia but finished top of Group D, while Australia, who narrowly beat Denmark, also reached the round of 16 as escort to the reigning world champions. .

Tunisia, needing to beat France and hope Denmark didn’t lose to Australia to advance, took to the field to challenge a disjointed French team made up of nine substitutes and just two regular starters. The European cast had already sealed their qualification to the next round on the previous day.

In the end, France came close to leveling, but a Griezmann goal in added time was ruled out for offside.

Frenchman Antoine Griezmann felt his 98th-minute goal that would have prevented France’s defeat in the final group game against Tunisia should not have been disallowed because he had no intention of playing the ball.

“When the cross occurs I am out of the game. But nothing happens, I told the referee that I had no intention of playing the center. Then the defense cleared badly and that’s why I resume the play”, explained the Atlético de Madrid footballer.

The referee, who initially awarded the goal, disallowed it soon after, marking France’s first loss at a World Cup since defeating Germany in the 2014 Brazil quarterfinals.
