Further proving why #FIFAWorldCup is known as the #WorldsGreatestShow, Tunisia pulled off a 1-0 upset over defending champions France after late VAR drama.

After a goalless first half, Wahbi Khazri scored to give the African side a shock lead over Didier Deschamps' side who had made nine changes from last time out. Antonine Griezmann thought he had salvaged a point in stoppage time, but in a dramatic turn of events, his strike was ruled out for offside by VAR.

However, despite their best efforts, Tunisia could not go past the group stage after Australia beat Denmark to seal their place in the Round of 16.
