Tunisia faced a challenging evening on Thursday, suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat to Belgium in their final preparation match ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match showcased Belgium’s dominance, with goals from Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere, Kevin De Bruyne, Dodi Lukebakio, and Nicolas Raskin contributing to their emphatic victory.
Things took a turn for Tunisia in the 62nd minute when Ismael Gharbi was sent off after receiving his second yellow card. Belgium capitalized on their numerical advantage, scoring three additional goals in the closing stages of the match, solidifying the outcome.
This result leaves Tunisia with one victory, one draw, and two defeats in their World Cup warm-up campaign, marking a two-match losing streak as they head into the tournament.
Belgium, on the other hand, enters the World Cup with momentum, set to open their campaign against Egypt on June 15 in Seattle. Tunisia will turn their attention to Group F, where they will face tough challenges against Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden.
